While I think Extension membership may be useful if redone with the M&E Director who believes in it, I'm not sure that the city-wide or swing chapters are the way to go. To wind back time a little, I'm not sure that a chapter at Howard that was a swing chapter of George Washington University's chapter or for that matter a city-wide chapter including both schools. Culture differences between APO chapters at HBCUs and non-HBCUs are significantly greater than those between the Kappa Alpha Psi (to pick an HBCU) at the two schools.

Ouch. Trying to imagine what it would be like for a biological little brother of an APO brother at Howard to pledge at George Washington or vice cersa.
