The comments that OleMissGlitter posted seem to answer what I was wondering.
Granted I have limited understanding, but it seems that a new chapter is going to be small for almost a generation before it can fully compete because you need legacies from that chapter to come through, and slowly you will build up. If the school is so entrenched in tradition, it seems like the usual 2-3 years of major national support won't work. Rather you need to pull through for about 25 years and when those legacies start to come through you might be able to fill the MS quota that is needed. But from the ground up you need to have a unusual approach. Is it illegal for an NPC to get its area alumnae to help push their daughters to a school so they can form a colony? Then you have MS and legacies to start with... (though this is probably highly illegal)
It just all seems so foreign, I just wonder how many women who would like to go greek, don't because the school is so steeped in this massive tradition and protocol. (I'm honestly not judging, just trying to fathom this world that is called Ole Miss.) I think these organizations offer great things to the women they fit.
