So if the school provides ground for 5 houses all together, then colony expansion would be much more likely. And more likely to succeed. Now, not knowing the school or the houses, I'm wondering if any existing sororities could be incentivized to move to a new Sorority Row. I think that would probably help.

Too late.
We already have 2 good sized, very well developed "Sorority Rows". ADPi and Alpha Phi are both building on the newer row, which is Rebel Drive, across from AOPi, Theta, Pi Phi and Chi Omega.
The original Sorority Row is on the same side of campus, but not close to Rebel Drive.

I will defer to Mary Poppins, but I believe that almost all of the sorority houses have had major renovations and expansions within the last 5-10 years. These houses are HUGE, custom built and cost millions. There is a lot of of history in some of the older homes and great affection for the facilities by alumnae. I cannot begin to imagne anything other than force that would make any chapter move.
