I am just asking a question and have D9 Friends and I do not get the same vibes from them that I get from You and others of D9ers.
Cost has NOTHING to do with chapter size. In fact, since the overwhemling majority of collegiate chapters do NOT have property and a larger number of alumnae chapters DO have property, the cost structure is often opposite of that in NIC/IFC/NPC orgs.

There have been numerous other discussions on GC regarding NPHC chapter size. Some factors for collegiate chapters include campus type (HBCU vs PWI), georaphical region, chapter type (city-wide vs campus based) and chapter status (recently reactivated or not) and intake frequency/line caps. For alumnae chapters, factors include number of alumnae chapters in a geographic area, community type (military, established, new suburb), geographic region, population demographic and socioeconomic levels.

Of course, there are org specifics as well.
