It's not unheard of...I visited SAE's HQ on Tuesday & saw records of every chapter they've ever had stored in "scrapbooks" (for lack of a better word) in their library. As I viewed the books, I noticed there were about 12 empty slots @ the bottom of the shelves.
When I asked my HQ contact if expansion meant he had to move all the records (for example, if the newest chapter were "Illinois Xi", would all the books coming after it, like "Indiana Alpha", etc. have to be moved one slot), he replied with glee, "Oh, no, that's done by our archivist". I'll bet the guy doesn't relish having a huge expansion push...
