So if one of the prerequisites for a campus's Student Activities office (or NPC if it exists) to decide to open for expansion is generally (as I've read on a few threads here) that the existing chapter(s) be consistently at or above quota, but there is only one chapter present and therefore no official "quota" per se but only a suggested guideline, what other factors may be considered in convincing or encouraging a campus to open for expansion? It seems pretty obvious that if a group is constantly scrounging around for new members and barely able to fill all of the officer positions within the org, then of course the interest just isn't present on the campus. But if numbers and participation are high or at least sufficient, what other aspects of the student environment could persuade a campus to want to expand?
