Why?
The campus Panhellenic (at any school) should aim to attract intelligent and involved students. If they're white, black, purple, or yellow, it shouldn't matter.
If the problem was getting AA students interested in NPC sororities, then there would be a whole lot of schools splashed on the front page of the newspaper. That's not the issue here. The issue is that there are AA students who are intelligent and involved, and they were turned down simply because of the color of their skin.
This doesn't mean that Panhellenic has to change how they attract people to participate in recruitment; it means they need to not blatantly discriminate against the people who were interested in the first place.
