The size of a facility should have no bearing whatsoever on the size of a given chapter.

Thank you. Many campuses do not have any sorority housing or meeting facilities (including my alma mater), so they meet in school facilities instead.
Oh, and seven sorority chapters is not considered a small system.
This decision by Zeta, IMO, is likely more a reflection of the Tulane campus and the attitude of women on campus. Not the interested candidates in Zeta, but the other greeks (and would be greeks) in the system. On some campuses, the sororities may say they welcome another sorority, but really they just see that chapter as the new bottom chapter on the totem pole. On some campuses, women think there is a stigma with a new sorority, so they won't even consider it. No sorority wants to be the "bottom" house, and no sorority wants to subject its colony members - who are often outstanding women who could/should be in any chapter - to a trying process on a campus that really isn't going to hold them up and support them.
