I may be remembering this wrong. Still I've noticed that some do it and some don't. Does any one know why? Or have any opinions to why?

PS: I did do a google search and came up with nothing
Delta Zeta is incorporated - there are multiple references on their website to their Articles of Incorporation.

I have received documents in the mail before from "Alpha Gamma Delta Women's Fraternity, Incorporated" so there are some official uses where NPC organizations will note their incorporation status or dates. But there are lots of ways in which we don't denote it.

Among other reasons, it helps with the maintenance of property and longevity of an organization after leadership has changed or founders have passed away, since it basically means that the organization is seen as a "person" in the eyes of the law, so that individuals are not necessarily liable for group actions, et cetera.
