Why do some Incorporate???

[Titchou]

All NPC groups are incorporated but don't use it in their name in a "familiar" way as the NPHC groups do. At the time the BGLO's were being started it was difficult for blacks to incorporate so do to so gave them a sense of pride that continues to this day. I have always admired that...along with many attributes of their groups that we don't seem to have been able to be as strongly attached to.

That's a major reason why you will often hear NPHCers say "(insert sorority or fraternity), INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNcorporated!!!!"
