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.

That is NOT true. Just as your founders were lonely women, my founders were 7 Black women in Indiana (home of the KKK at the time) trying to educate themselves at a school that didn't want them.
All the NPHC have a social component to them and their foundings. But it is not the SOLE purpose of their foundings, as you have stated.
