Housing is a huge issue there as well. All of the sororities are on the same street (well 2 are around the corner but basically in the backyard of the Maple Street sororities). The University now owns the remaining property on Maple and they aren't exactly giving it away to build new sorority houses. It is now one of these situations where the sorority builds and owns the house but leases the land. It gets very sticky.
Kappa Alpha Theta built in another area of campus, where the fraternities are, and they ended up closing. I am sure that wasn't the only issue, but being on Maple is extremely important.
Add to that the cost of building in NW Arkansas (AOII is looking at 6-7 million), and without assurances of a successful chapter, it narrows the pool of potential NPCs.
Arkansas is just one of those places that the lack of history is very important. The last sorority to colonize (before AOII) came on in 1989 and took quota for the first time last year. It is a tough campus.
