They have a HIGH level of visibility in their communities due to their HIGH level of active involvment in/with their organizations and communities.
edit (because I hit the submit button too soon): Thus a large portion of the community outside of greeks or those that know greeks, both younger and older, tend to know more about the organizations even though they may have never stepped foot on a college campus.

They have a HIGH level of visibility and a HIGH level of involvement in their comunities because that's the POINT of their organizations. As far as I know, NONE of the NPHC groups were founded as SOCIAL organizations. They were all meant to better the BLACK community. Whereas my NPC sorority was founded because there were five lonely woman all alone at an all male school and they needed the social connection with other women. NPCs always were philanthropic but it had way more to do with the expectations of their place in society and their religion that about "lifting up" the community.
