I know that NIC's admission criteria are completely different than NPC's . The NPC wouldn't admit a flipped gender equivalent of *most* of the recent groups that NIC has admitted, due to the NPCs requirements on number of chapters and the amount of time they have been around.

The NICs admission criteria that are quantifiable and seem to apply ( as of 2015 - https://web.archive.org/web/20180417....-08.28.17.pdf ) boil down to
* 5 active chapters (of which 3 have to have been active for at least 5 years)
* Have national officers which control between conventions
* Mutually exclusive
* All undergraduate chapters must be at accredited schools that offer bachelor's degrees or two year accredited schools.

(Frankly the way that I read the requirements, Kappa Alpha Theta could seek dual membership in the NIC the way that Alpha Phi Alpha has with the NIC & NPHC.)

But nowhere do I read any rule on being open to all students other than the term General. (I'm not sure that would cause a problem to a Fraternity which only allowed membership based on Major *or* one that required the brother (or their father) be a Freemason)
