At Louisiana State University, there are 10 NPC groups. Chapter total is 155 but many have almost 200. (I don't know if you would consider that a big Greek school. There are about 17 NIC, an agricultural sorority and I'm not sure the number of NPHC.)
For a new NPC to colonize, the minimum investment would be between $1.5 million - $2 million. All NPC groups own their own mansion style houses. The average appraisal is $1.75 million and they sleep about 55 members. A rule of thumb for NPC expansion is that a colonizing group must provide for its colony what is equal to the other NPC groups on campus. Therefore, a group can go without a house for a brief period of time but one is necessary to survive. There are no houses of that size available so one would need to be built. Cost is a huge factor and not many groups are willing to risk that much financially.
