I know it sucks really badly to see this happen, but in the position you're in - not at school PLUS having joined an NPC - giving them advice might actually ramp up the drama even more.
Every sorority has drama. Small chapters especially. You fight as hard as you love and love as hard as you fight. However, when it gets to the point that people are quitting, either they aren't getting the second part of that equation, or they're using "drama" as a convenient excuse.
Does the sorority participate in rush with Panhel at that school and follow all the other Panhellenic rules (especially the alcohol and risk management ones)? If so, the fact that people are quitting to join an NPC shows that the sorority isn't regarded as a "real" group, by the school OR by the people who join. There are other schools with local/national mixes where the girls would no more think of quitting a local and joining a national than they would of quitting one NPC and joining another.
If the group wants to stay around as a local, they need to assert themselves as a full member of Panhellenic and behave accordingly. If the NPC groups have alcohol free events, they need to do the same. Yes, it kind of sucks, but it goes a LONG way towards the sort of mutual respect you want from the other groups. Speaking of mutual respect, they also shouldn't accept women into membership who have disaffiliated from an NPC group.
I don't know if any of this applies, but my point is that it sounds like the group itself needs fixing to attract members. The ones who are there, are there. If they're drama queens, it is what it is.
