Delta actually has more campus-based collegiate chapters than citywide. Sometime we choose to be city wide because the individual schools in a community have low percentages of Black enrollments, so to maintain a viable chapter we wish to pull from all of the schools in a city. It is that way here in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
In other cases the school will not allow additional GLOs on campus so then we go the city wide route.
And finally, sometimes we just don't want to be bound to a specific campus, because of the restrictions they may put on us.
In St. Louis, Alpha Omega began as a campus-based chapter at Harris/Stowe (as you said then Stowe Teachers College.) However, it changed its designation to citywide to be able to accomodate Wash U., SLU, etc. that did not have a critical mass of Black women from which to form a chapter. And I already mentioned UMSL and the now-defunct Eta Pi chapter.
Lastly, we also have core chapters that are based at a specific campus, but are allowed to recruit from nearby campuses. In these cases approval is required from all of the schools involved.

We have this in SC for undergrads. Spartanburg City-wide chapter has Wofford, USC-Upstate (formally USC Spartanburg), Converse College (an all women's school) and Furman (in Greenville). Also the chapter at Allen University in Columbia also take members from Columbia College (another all women's school). Most of the other undergrad schools (ex. Carolina, Clemson, C of C) have individual chapters.
