Let's say you have five car dealerships in a row: one each for high end cars (Mercedes, Porsche), and one each for good solid mainstream vehicles (Ford, Toyota), and the last dealership sells Yugos.
Everyone wants the car market to be strong, but smart car buyers don't want to buy Yugos; it's not a good value for the money.
Restricting the other dealerships won't make more people buy Yugos. The individual dealerships will weaken (fewer sales) and the market demand for good cars will probably remain stable but be frustrated by the lack of product.
Let Yugo fall where it will, and allow the other dealerships to prosper in the atmosphere of the free market. The "playing field" tilts this way and that naturally based on the economy and the price of oil.
It sounds as if NPC's attitude is that any sorority chapter is just as attractive to new members as any other chapter. That's like saying, "All cars have four wheels and provide transportation and it doesn't matter whether it's a Porsche or a Yugo."
