As an outsider, I would think that would be part of it. In broader terms, I would guess it has to do with the very different natures of the NIC and the NPC. It seems to me that the NIC exists mainly to advocate for the interests of its members, to engage in PR for the fraternity system in general and to provide educational programming for its members. So far as I know, it doesn't engage much in any regulations as to how member organizations will operate (for example, regarding rush or expansion). Through things like Unanimous Agreements, on the other hand, the NPC seems to be more involved in deciding as a group how its member fraternities/sororities will operate and cooperate. Does that seem on target?
FWIW, here's an earlier thread on this subject:
Future NPC sororities. Sometning tells me there's at least one other thread on this as well.
