The system can accommodate that much growth? I don't know that we know that. I believe most/every chapter at Ole Miss has just expanded their chapter houses. How do they pay for that if chapters go from 350ish to 125ish in only a couple of years (graduation attrition combined with much lower quotas)? Plus, if the new chapters want to bid up to average chapter size, that would mean 4 chapters times 350ish which is roughly 1,400. That is a whole lot, especially because these colonies would want to be extremely selective. Not to mention that that many colony members could overwhelm the system. That is a lot of folks who don't know the ropes all at one time.
I'm all for expansion at Ole Miss (and lots of other places), but I think biting off too much at once will inevitably cause one or more of the new chapters to fail. That would be tragic considering the cost to colonize.
