They're still national fraternities, they just don't belong to th NIC anymore. It has nothing to do with their national status.
oh and incidentally, IFC = Inter Fraternity Council and NIC = North American Interfraternity Council. It's the same organization, only called one thing at the school and another overall.
The school can refuse to recognize Greeks that don't have some sort of national backing, but they can do NOTHING to prevent students from joining them, unless they put it in the student code that everyone signs, and I doubt that would ever hold up if challenged as it conflicts with the freedom of association act. The only schools that can get away with disallowing students to join unrecognized groups are those that take no federal funds.
