I can only speak for a campus I'm more familiar with, but at UC Berkeley almost ever chapter closed is a single letter chapter. I think not only were the 60's and 70's a trying time for Cal, but also the structures we have in place now for recruitment, quota, total, large houses etc. where not so rigid back in the early 1900's so it was probably easier for groups to start chapters.
If I'm remembering correctly, DG's Berkeley chapter only had 13 charter members in 1907, but if any group were to expand on campus now I doubt they would feel comfortable starting a colony with 13 members!
