Well, I've never done this before, so I am sorta brainstorming....
You can either be a completely off-campus, practically non-collegiate organization, having all of your meeting locations off campus, all social and service events off campus, and recruit from all schools.
Or...
You'd need at least one campus to be the "chapter seat." The anchor campus would be where you get recognized as an organization so you'd always have access to one university's benefits, such as photocopying, fliering, meeting space, etc.
You would need to have enough members at this campus to sustain a chapter.
The anchor campus administration would have to be okay with being part of a city-wide chapter. You can do preliminary research on this by checking to see which NPHC or NALFO orgs are their and accept people from multiple campuses.
After you are established on your anchor campus, or make reasonable strides in doing so, I suggest picking ONE campus at which to expand. That way you can spend time figuring out if functioning at more than one campus will even work.
I have seen city-wide or metropolitan chapters struggle for years and years, to the point where if I was regional director, I'd shut them down or reorganize with less campuses on the charter.
Good luck!
