I think the whole thing is - there are fewer NPHC groups, so each will be more (for lack of a better word) proprietary about the things that are theirs. For example, it wouldn't do for me to get all upset about a DZ wearing a red and white shirt, because Chi Omega's colors are also red and white (well, cardinal and straw) and AOII's color is cardinal. Plus there are other groups that have red as one of their colors, and a buttload of other groups that have white as one of their colors. I don't have a special "claim" on red or white within my conference. Does that make sense?

Yes. For colors wrt the NPHC, maybe it is because there are fewer orgs that the NPC and NIC, but I tend to see an org's colors as an integral part of the organization, just as the shield/crest, motto, and pledge. Could I wear a pink and green SGR shirt. Sure I could, especially if I bought it
, but would I? No. While the colors pink and green are very nice, when it comes to my greek letters I'll choose my own colors, or a color combo that is not crimson/creme, blue/white, pink/green. Why? Because I respect the other org's colors.
