For historically white NIC groups and NPC groups, I don't think this holds true as much. It's more about the chapter where one goes to college.

In my Fraternity, fraternal identification also extends to the district where one became a member. Districts have reputations and political power is brokered along these lines, where alliances are made for international political office.

Actually, I would venture that there is a simliar sort of "branding" that goes on in the NPC and NIC as well. I think it may have more importance in different regions of the country.
Ex. -in the south a few sororities may be known for certain aspects/qualities/characterisitcs, where as in the midwest they may not be as important.
