The situation at your school, though, was that the entire character of the SCHOOL was changing - going from commuter to residential, or attempting to, and the admin saw a larger Greek system as a component of that.
Without outing luv n tpa, I'm going to say I don't think that's exactly the case here. I don't think the school necessarily WANTS to go against the recommendation of NPC or the individual groups, or expand the Greek system, they're just asserting that they CAN. The only reason I think they would approve this is if they're afraid of an unrecognized local sorority running underground, and if, as AlphaFrog suggested, it's made clear that these groups are not sanctioned or approved in any way by the school, the likelihood of that happening would decrease considerably.
