We have been under-represented in the South for years, and there were never really any good reasons for it.
One of the things that held us back, IMO, is that we had a long standing policy of NEVER actively seeking to colonize. We always had to be "asked" as though DG was some fragile little belle waiting for a date to the prom.
We should have been at Vanderbilt 30 years ago, for example.
We did at one time have chapters at Emory AND Georgia State.
Other schools in Georgia like Mercer, with a good number of students from Florida, where we have such a strong presence and great name recognition, would be a nice addition.
Also, we are not at UNC, and we have had our difficulties in South Carolina, where we also should have gone years and years ago.
And in the Midwest - we are not at Kansas State OR Iowa State. Two big state schools. I wonder why not?
Pennsylvania and New York State also have lots of schools where we might take a look.
But I am not in favor of colonizing at every opportunity. I overheard at a Panhellenic meeting remarks between two friends from another GLO, about another group, poking fun at a certain sorority for colonizing at "every place except roadside fruit stands". They do have the largest number of chapters, but I don't think that necessarily adds to our strength or our reputation. I like who we are!
