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.

Do you think two are possible and/or necessary?
I understand the thinking that two groups at once helps avoid some sort of stigma attached to a single new group, but we've seen lots of successful colonizations in the SEC in recent years, and I'm not sure that the new kid necessarily comes in at a disadvantage. Often, it seems, many women would prefer the new group over one that has a less popular reputation.
ETA: I didn't realize there are only 9 groups there now. That means that every new group is a serious hit to quota (over 10%).
