If antitrust laws can be applied to not-for-profit corporations, then how can NPC sororities be exempted from the antitrust laws if they act in an anti-expansion nature at either the national (i.e., NPC level) or local level (i.e., Panhel level)?

Because because because because because...because of the wonderful things NPC does. (sorry, that was stuck in my head)
Anyway, as stated before, all the NPC groups have agreed to operate this way. Think of it as the community agreements you see in some suburbs. When you move in, you agree to paint your house only certain colors, not have tacky flamingos on your lawn, etc etc. If you decide to put a big old flamingo on your lawn, you're not doing anything against the LAW, but you will get booted out of the community.
If ASA for example was to go into schools and start colonizing groups of women without going through the proper procedures, they wouldn't be doing anything unlawful or even against the uni's rules, but they would get kicked out of NPC very quickly.
Bringing up anti-trust laws concerning a group whose members are all voluntary members is comparing apples and oranges. Now, if the university has a rule that says all sororities must be NPC members, that would be closer to what you're talking about.
