Hey there, UMass alum here!
So the relationship with Amherst and UMass has always been tenuous, but some of that has been exacerbated by Greek Life in the past.
A lot of what I experienced as an active in the late 2000s was paying for the sins of our fathers. From what I remember, housing with the University is a closed system. Only current buildings that are lettered can be used for official GLO housing. If an Org sells their house, another can buy it and then hang their letters on it, but there won't be any more new houses on campus.
There are of course unofficial houses in the area, and there is a bit of comradery on that where the GLOs are generally in the same area.
Pike I have no idea about their growth and expansion, but I would assume it was based on their former size and influence on campus in the IFC. 120 is extremely large for UMass, so I could see that as 120 bids or new members, but the actual initiated roster could be much lower. If it is 120 strong initiates then good for them.
