No, I don't think that. That is what I am asking. I know for a fact that the chapter in question was not an RM issue, and they have been gone long enough (10 years?) that nobody remembers their reputation. I also strongly suspect that they have alumnae support in the area, as much as the groups that were chosen. What else goes into the initial proposal?
I do know that the groups chosen all have nearby chapters, so that would be one mitigating factor, but the one with a house has more chapters at large schools.
I realize that we have not all seen the proposals, but my point is that there must be some sort of objective criteria on which the CPH is supposed to decide.
As far as lots of houses moving, I agree that it would be fairly easy to find a house to rent. However, it would take a sizeable chunk of change to buy a house large enough to compete with the other NPC's. Now, I have no idea if there is an advantage to renting vs. owning your chapter house, but I would think a chapter coming back to campus would not want to buy something right away, so that would mean they would have to rent, be sure the colonization goes as planned, and then move.
