I've done expansion research for my sorority previously, and I looked at certain things like what organizations are already on campus, how many of our alumnae were in the area, if we had alumnae associations and chapters close by, etc. I never would have stopped to consider the hazing culture, if any, at those schools, or how I would come by such information.
What I'm getting to is that the NPCs seeking to expand obviously considered a broad range of factors before making expansion presentations. I'm satisfied these organizations know how to recruit and vet prospective members, and clean house when they deem it absolutely necessary. Not all members of an interest group will go on to become sisters.
Additionally, you can only go by the actual evidence you have in front of you. I know from experience as a former adviser (and I am sure all of you can identify with this) how easy it is for members to lie to your face and give the appearance of following all the rules... when in fact they are not, they've actually taken a page straight out of Lord of the Flies and nothing is going to stop them. Until they get caught.
Clearly replacing a sorority's name from a local to an NPC isn't going to make them stop hazing. But with the education measures and sanctions in place, it has a better chance of dying off. This of course supposes that there is adequate supervision and members who actually follow the rules.
