When the expansion thread said that Bucknell in PA was open for expansion, I checked irish pipes' thread. It showed that Bucknell has 6 active and 8 inactive chapters. (Not sure, oldu, what university criteria you must have used to limit your list?)
I agree with ForeverRoses' comment re: the significance of timing on the chpater closings. Admittedly, I know very little about the colonization process. I would be skittish, however, to pursue colonization on a campus where the "survival rate" of NPC sororities is less than 50%. At Bucknell, TriDelta just closed a single letter chapter in 2003 that had been in existence since 1904. It brings up all those questions re: when a campus is ready for expansion.
It was interesting to go back and look at the issues discussed in this thread on When Is It a Good Idea for Campus Panhel Expansion:
