I believe the reason there is less dissention among NPC groups is because there are a few unanimous agreements, but the other resolutions are not as binding.
If you read the wording carefully, each resolution is simply a recommendation to the member groups or a recommendation to the college panhellenics.
For example, NPC resolved to support the fraternities that were going dry. Each member group interpreted this differently. Some groups passed resolutions that collegiate chapters could not have events at fraternity houses that were not dry. Others passed resolutions that as long as the events were dry, they could be at non-dry (wet?) houses. Some groups did not choose to pass anything at all.
I think that NPC cuts to the chase and passes resolutions with very little discussion. Realistically, it would be very detrimental for a member group to relinquish its NPC membership.
