I checked to see why Southern Methodist was not included. My cut-off was institutions with 9 or more NPC groups and they have 8. However, it would easily fit the pattern I suggest. Nine inactive chapters, three of which were closed in the past 15-20 years, at a place where a multimillion dollar home is a must. Believe me, ask any of your top officers and they will assure you that they will not casually make a decision to enter one of these institutions. That is why many group make a decision NOT to present when an opening arises -- they have evaluated the situation and concluded that time and money would be better invested elsewhere. My sorority friend, who is a former council member, tells me that is why it is such a difficult decision when alumnae of the former chapter badly want it revived, and they are unable to commit to do it. I am aware of several very expensive sorority houses which were sold at a loss to another group because the chapter failed. No group, however wealthy they may be, can afford many of those mistakes.
