They have recently started several sports teams for both men and women, so perhaps they are expanding their recruitment. I went to Pitt back in the '70's and they had a decent reputation as a small school with a good Nursing program back then. (We used to go "traying" (sledding on cafeteria trays) on their campus that had some nice steep hills. In more recent years they seem to promote being LGBT-friendly. It will be interesting to see if they are indeed seeking NPC extension.
Is the AKA chapter specific to Carlow or Pittsburgh wide? From what I remember from about a Decade ago, the common setup for the NPHC chapters was a city wide chapter anchored at Pitt...
