It might seem like it's something that's going to hurt your recruitment, but trust me, it won't. The first year that they announce a new Fraternity is coming everyone will ship into gear and have one of the best recruitments you've ever seen.

The year they actually expand you will see it get even better. This is the story I have gotten from virtually every IFC I've known. More competition means more motivation. On top of that, simply having more Greeks walking around campus makes the Greek system more visible altogether. Even the sororities saw a big improvement in their recruitment the year a new Fraternity expanded.
If they really want to take this tack, I would absolutely say confine it to groups who have been there previously AND who have a strong alumni base supporting them and keeping a strong eye on who is joining.

The last thing you want is Random National Who'll Colonize At A Car Wash blowing in, creating a weak chapter with weak guys and no one to ride their asses, and blowing out 5 years later after they've downgraded the whole Greek system with their shitty practices.
