Her foundation is one of the largest and she told me that they had turned down opportunities to revive some lost chapters because they could not justify the investment required and the risk to be taken, much to the disappointment of many alumnae.

Foundations deal with managing the charitable aspect of the sorority - its donations to various causes, etc. Not with the every day deals of where to colonize and where not to.
One person's opinion from one group does not make it fact.
I agree with the other posters who have said that the time the chapters went inactive is important. There's a huge difference between the chapter going dormant in the 1920's or 1930's than going dormant 2 years ago.

It reveals nothing other than someone with time on his hands to do some statistics. To extrapolate more from it is conjecture.
