Your chapters get larger and larger like at LSU. Expansion was tried 3 times there in the last 10 years and nothing took. The sororites have all made huge additions and renovations to their houses to accomodate the larger chapter sizes. This really hurts any new group who may want to come because the capitol investment of a house goes up with each new feature. Think in the $1.5 - $2 million price range and that doesn't include the normal expansion costs. A sorority needs to look hard at the bottom line and determine if a campus is really worth that outlay.
There was also mention about an NPC group colonizing without a house. That is very unrealistic especially if there is no house in the immediate future. All NPC groups need to be on the same field regarding housing. If not, the unhoused group will suffer tremendously. I am speaking specifically about campuses like Ole Miss and LSU.
Omega Phi Alpha does well without a house because it is not in direct competition with the NPCs.

Anyway, does anyone know what's happens if no sorority is interested in starting up here?
