I would like to see the GF, Districts and Alums get together and pick some of the older closed chapters for re-colonization/activation. Just look at the list of institutions. There should not be a problem with GPA's at 80+% of them. Butler in Indianapolis, IN, The Naval Academy (if the Feds will let this happen, the Midshipman do have a lot on their plate) and there are others.
Also, look at joint chapters where two major institutions are very close. Yes, I know that there is some pride issues here but I am more for brotherhood than institutional pride or bragging rights. My dead colony at Indiana State (died 1983) and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, IN would be a nice start.
A drive to rebuild must be undertaken. The Alums (myself included) need to come to the aid of chapter close to them. I am not near one, so I would support via $$$ or building a new chapter at U Pitt Johnstown, PA.
Just one brothers opinion.
