Is there any org whose statement of interest is just so amazing that it would set them apart enough to ensure they get chosen?
I don't have much experience with expansions, so if someone could shed some light on how they do the initial narrowing from 7 to 3, I would appreciate it. I would just have assumed that an existing house would tip it in an org's favor.
(and in case anyone is wondering, my org is already on the campus, so this is not personal)

These are just guesses but:
Perhaps all 7 orgs did not send in proposals for whatever reason
If one of them has a house on campus, perhaps it is rented out with a longterm lease that would prevent the chapter coming back
There could still be a negative attitude on campus toward XYZ
ABC could have been removed from campus due to disciplinary actions and thus is not high on the list to be brought back.
I guess I'm just saying there are a LOT of variables and again, if the chapters that do not own houses are confident that they can procure one, I don't think it makes any difference to the campus, or the decisions made by Panhel, etc.
There are a lot of houses at UofI that have been swapped around a lot. My mother is an alumna and we drove around once while she was telling me that *that* house used to be XYZs but now it belongs to someone else. There seems to be enough mobility there that a chapter could acquire a house fairly easily.
Also, if you think the proposals are all the same, how do any three chapters get chosen? Just random luck?
