I’m not saying this reasoning is right, I’m just saying it is what it is.

*NOT* an honorary, a professional. Professionals have chosen pledge classes, honoraries *don't*.
And membership in the NIC isn't anything like a limiting factor. Out of Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, Omega Psi Phi and Alpha Phi Alpha, two are members of the NIC, two are not, and that membership means very little to the press (or for that matter many of the students)
