That makes sense - when I was looking through the chapter rolls yesterday I noticed that almost all of the single-letter chapters are at major flagship state universities. I'm still a fan of that strategy. I think more prominent schools are *generally* more immune to the ebbs and flows of college enrollment numbers.
