Are you including commuter colleges in the mix?

I don't think that a school or university should be discounted because they lack dorms. Kennesaw State just recently built dorms but their student groups had been doing fine without them. However, the addition of the dorms will likely attract more students seeking a residential campus experience and raise the total student population.

Community colleges, on the other hand, is another issue. Some of these programs are only 2-years max. I would think that turnover in the chapter would be high. To help in overcoming that, the chapter would have to greatly rely on advisors for continuity.
