As far as chapter facilities and housing goes…I'm not entirely sure how the University would go about providing the equivalent to a new group. Each of the four groups on campus now have a floor of a set of residence halls, with 24 beds on each floor for what's usually the exec boards of the groups and any other girls that want to live there. The floors occupied by the sororities also each have a chapter room and storage space for ritual equipment and the like.
The housing spaces themselves would be less of an issue for the University, being that each of the two buildings have a first floor that is not assigned to any particular group and have the same number of bed spaces. The issue I would see is that neither first floor of the building has the equivalent chapter space for a new group. I do believe the University plans to add more residence halls near the current sorority housing, and possibly in a similar style, but that's unlikely to happen in the next few years (they have already started construction on a new residence hall near the main sets due to a requirement for Fall 2015 that all incoming freshmen who don't live within a certain mile radius have to live on campus). I do not believe the groups are large enough that the chapter space itself is in danger of not being able to hold them—even though quotas have gone up a little, chapter total has not fluctuated much at all (that I can tell).
