The downside is the system could accommodate a new chapter right now, but in 5, 10, 15 years, interest drops off and there's suddenly not enough girls to fill the chapter houses. For a new chapter with a $2 or $3 million dollar house in Iowa City and no one who wants to buy it, that would COMPLETELY suck. So you have to balance RIGHT NOW with the long term.
I don't think there is a consistent answer about what happens to the WRC when expansion happens. But I don't think there is a down side to the chapters at Iowa right now. The pledge class sizes are now at right around the size of the houses, and that's not great. You don't want everyone to have to live in, but you want a decent percentage of the chapter living together to make the house worth it. That's my opinion anyway.
