I don't know how it works other places, but Greeks were recognized totally differently than other student orgs at my college. Student groups were recognized by the Student Activities Board and were required not only to have a minimum of members but also to be non-discriminatory in membership (excluding honor societies). Greek groups were recognized by the Greek Life Office and could be single-sex and select members.
The school can perfectly well set out different rules for different kinds of orgs. And if they thought about it, maybe they would. Because this makes them out to be attacking the NPHC groups, whether that's their intent or not. Did anyone ask any of those chapters if they WANTED 100 members, or if they WANTED a house? It's not necessarily a "failure" of these groups that they don't have those things. The differences between NPC/NIC and NPHC aren't just race - it's different traditions and goals that have developed over 100 years. The school is essentially saying one kind of Greek is better than another.
