Okay, I think I am mixing up groups, here. I think you initially meant that the IU members/alumnae didn't want to change, even though NPC did. I read it to mean that NPC wanted to, and the University (administration) itself had some kind of problem with it.
I understand a strongly-ingrained culture, and I also keep going back to the housing situation. The same factors that prevent new groups from getting housing also prevent there from being desirable non-Greek housing for upperclassmen. When we visited Indiana my junior year, my VP was like "man, I wish our house was that gorgeous" and I was like "yeah, and you want to still be sleeping in a cold air dorm your senior year?"
So, if somehow someone magically built gorgeous, cheap apartments in a good location, I think that you'd start to have the seniors want to live out, and the housing-centric culture start to change.
