And it's a particularly bad time in terms of housing, as far as I know.

The local gov't has limited pretty tightly where Greek housing will be permitted with zoning laws.

A couple of fraternities are being forced to relocate by the university and they don't seem be presenting them with desirable on campus locations to build. I think a couple of existing fraternities are without houses. (It's kind of hard to tell who is really still there.)

Other than the D Phi E house (I think they probably hope to recolonize so I doubt they will sell), I have no idea where a new group could expect to build or buy a house, and without one it would be really hard to compete for new members.

But keeping chapter total low will keep interest in expansion high as well as allowing smaller groups to catch up or enjoy being caught up for a while before a new group comes on.
