Quite frankly, the majority of members in NPC sororities don't join because of the national partnerships, the national philanthropy or the mission statement. They join because they like the girls in the chapter at their school. Love for the sorority as a national entity comes later. I'm sure the sororities would totally dig it if everyone was like you and looked primarily at the things you're looking at, but the fact is that would require an enormous culture change. Recuitment, pledging, everything would have to do a 180. What you're doing with researching is more akin to the way women who are interested in NPHC organizations choose a group.
Even when women are picking a sorority to colonize with, often times the group who "looked good on paper" gets there - and is not at all what the interest group thought they would be.
Case in point.
Also, if the majority of the groups are local and have been that way for a long time, it leads me to believe that either the campus is not one NPC groups have found desirable as far as expansion, or that NPCs are a new thing being added slowly so as not to overwhelm the system, or that the majority of the students prefer the local groups to the nationals. You might want to check
this thread out - find your school, and see if there have ever been any other NPC groups at your school besides the three you mentioned.
