I've had more caffeine now, so maybe I'll make more sense. (not a guarantee)
NPHC aspirants research the groups and choose to pursue membership in the one they feel the most connection with. There are 4 NPHC groups. If NPC went about acquiring new members in the same way, can you imagine researching all 26 groups in the same manner? It seems like it would turn into a contest among the NPCs as to who had the most name recognition, and that's who would survive. I know not all the NPHCs are the same size, but I also have gotten the impression that the average NPHC rushee has at least HEARD of all the groups.
As to your second question - I think people don't value as much what is given too easily. I'm not talking about letter sweatshirts, I'm talking about membership in general.
