You're right about the fluidity, lifesaver, at least if past editions of Baird's are any indication. Baird's has traditionally listed social/general fraternities with NIC members in one group and non-NIC members in another group. If I remember correctly (I don't have past editions handy, so forgive me if I get something wrong), at least according to Bairds, SAE, Sigma Nu, Pi Kappa Phi, and Pi Kappa Alpha have not been NIC members at some point.
I wouldn't be so sure about it affecting the NIC, though. Certainly, it may not cause the demise of the NIC, but if there is enough dissatisfaction with the direction of the NIC (and the Phi Delt press release, at any rate, suggests that dissatisfaction extends beyong Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Sigma), then this may be the impetus for change. Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, I'm wondering what effect this might have on consideration being given to Phi Mu Alpha joining the NIC.
