Interesting, i didn`t know of any possible similarities between ork clan symbols and chaos symbols. That could indicate some sort of connection, minor influence or it could be a simple chance.The question it raises is could the chaos gods, tzeench, influence, or direct the orks in some way? If they can focus the Waagh, thenm there is no need of open submission.

Supah, probably the most important requierment is to sacrifice. Apart from the neccesary traits you mentioned, someone can completely give themselves to Chaos, but to have the attention of the Chaos gods you need a significant sacrifice. In Dawn of War retribution, Azariah, as powerful and intelligent as he was needed to offer them 3 planets, and billions of humans to become a Demon Prince. Is it possible the orks give sacrifices without knowing?

Very little is known about these `ork gods`, Gork and Mork, their powers and influence are unknown. They might offer some protection to the orks, but other gods, Tzeench, might be able to bypass it, and influence the orks.
