Someone theorized that if that campus was open to expansion, the groups most likely to present would be those who have previously had chapters at the school that eventually became inactive. And, as you said, DZ has never had a chapter at Mizzou. Still it's a wonderful sorority that's VERY well known in the state... so it seems like a great decision! Now if only they would decide to bring another group in!!

I think the
Emory expansion thread is sorta an answer to your question.
Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Phi and a few others had a chapter there before; Gamma Phi Beta had not. All three have strong alumnae chapters in Atlanta. I am not in the decision makers' heads, so I can't obviously say what their criteria was, but a campus open for expansion may want to see a fresh face. And a group that hasn't been on campus before may still have an exceptional reputation in the state or region. (this could apply to the systems at Mizzou and Texas as well)
