For what it is worth, the NIC does not advocate keeping any fraternity from colonizing. It is the campus that makes the decision to control expansion. See NIC by-laws below. Note: this would apply to all national fraternities regardless of their membership in any umbrella organization.

Campus Expectations

Open Expansion

No NIC member organization is prohibited from selecting undergraduates for the purpose of establishing a chapter on the campus of the host institution. The host institution's Interfraternity Council may not deter expansion by withholding membership of NIC group from IFC.

Open Recruitment

Host institution will support open recruitment and will not prohibit any male enrolled as a full time student in good standing from participating in rush recruitment activities and joining an NIC member fraternity. Host institution will not prohibit NIC member fraternity from recruiting/rushing male students on campus.
