Well I.C. Sororis was founded as a women's fraternity based on the men's fraternity model and by the 1880s the collegians clamored for a name change. It was an interesting convention when the change was made to Pi Beta Phi in 1888.
My feeling about the three NIC members is that there are two to three times as many men's groups and it just wasn't important to them.
When I was at Michigan in the 1890s, there was a local called Collegiate Sorosis (in the 1800s it had been a Kappa Alpha Theta chapter). The members decided in the 1980s that they needed Greek letters to compete and they became Chi Sigma. They are no longer on the Michigan campus.
