Also, the founders of the local that preceded KBG originally wanted to be a NPC, but due to campus conditions, were unable to do so.
With that being said, the reason many of these women did not "join an NPC in the first place" is because they liked the women of KBG. Tri Sigma left in 2004, leaving just Chi Omega and KBG, until this past fall. So the majority of KD's members had a choice between ChiO and KBG and felt a closer connection to the KBG women.
I am not trying to put down KBG, but the women saw how ChiO operated and especially after APhi joined, they yearned for an organization that could provide them with the same resources that their Panhellenic sisters were receiving.
And they never "turned their badges in" because they never received them (at least none of the current collegiate members did).

Regardless of whether or not they have received their badges, I would venture to guess they took some kind of oath of loyalty to KBG.
If they felt a closer connection to the girls of KBG, why abandon that and make it into something it wasn't just because they wanted an org with more resources like the other sororities on campus? Or why join KBG in the first place if they "yearned" to be part of a group with better resources?
Or they could have waited it out, formed an interest group and get organized. It is possible that down the road their interest group could be picked up by a NPC.
It just doesn't seem right to join an National org just to leave it to join a bigger one.
