All 26 will be represented before IU changes from bed rush BUT chapters will slowly start going over their totals by a few each year. "We're not changing the rules, but we ARE going to let 5 seniors (or some other ridiculously small number) live out. And inevitably when it turns out the sky doesn't fall because of 5 seniors living out, it will move to 10, to 20 to the majority of seniors living out.
I personally think there is a place for unhoused chapters as a counterpoint to the uber-exclusion of the chapter houses now and they will continue to succeed, providing they maintain high standards and keep a very visible social profile. But in the next 10 years, one could fail and people will see it as a sign that it was NEVER going to work. But then the sun will rise again and the other unhoused chapters will be just fine. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone in particular. You can't expect all this growth and have 100% success.
