I think what LPIDelta might be talking about (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that if what a group really wants is to be NPC, they might form as a "social/service", "social/professional" or "multicultural" sorority, to get recognized, and then operate as an NPC social group would. There's been several threads on here about GSS chapters doing selective rush, having mixers with fraternities and basically behaving like NPC groups (without the alcohol rules). This is not cool. It's getting what you want by the backdoor and "using" another group for purposes that might not match their national purposes.

Except I've not gotten the impression that they want to be anything other than a social sorority. What is so odd about affiliating with a regional/local/etc. non-NPC local?

The OP never gave any indication that they were looking at service or professional orgs specifically, and many multicultural orgs are as social as the NPC. Jumping to the conclusion that the OP's group is trying to get their chapter approved as... OPA for example... and then be a quasi-NPC doesn't appear to have any evidence in this thread.

Perhaps I'm just annoyed at the idea that a) what the NPC says goes even for non-NPCs and b) that "clearly" they're not supporting/should go look at the NPCs on campus.
