A NPC is not going to come to a campus where they are not allowed to have selective membership or are denied the right to ever have housing (if the rest of the groups do). . . .
It sounds like they are going to get a group together with just whoever is free and then pick an NPC - that is not the case, the NPC has to decide if it wants to come there.
I know they don't have a typical system there, but they need to do some homework on how expansion operates if they want another NPC group. [/B]

One thing that might -- might -- operate in their favor is the apparent support from the administration, since the article says the real battle will be with the trustees over the residential / single-sex / selective criteria.
If it comes down to not being able to be housed, I agree that it could be tough to get an NPC org interested. Off the top of my head I can only think of one of Dartmouth's "peer institutions" where I believe some NPCs are housed and some aren't: Stanford. Of course, Stanford has a moderately unusual Greek system too. Another example in the Northeast, though perhaps not quite a "peer" of Dartmouth, might be Colgate, where some are housed, some not -- but that's all going to change there in the fall as far as i know.
