WHO ALSO MIGHT NOT HAVE A DAMN THING TO DO WITH EXPANSION.

Honestly, why don't you let oldu come here and back up his own claim instead of speaking for him?

This is an unfair debate. I'll gracefully step aside and let you control the discussion from here on.

Let me give you some examples of how risky and difficult it is to start new chapters at highly popular but veryy competitive schools. At the University of Alabama where Alpha Phi will colonize this fall, three other attempts have been made by very strong organizations during the past 25 years but only one of the three, Gamma Phi Beta, succeeded. At the University of Oklahoma, seven attempts were made but only two, Alpha Phi and Alpha Omicron Pi, have been successful. At the University of Missouri, four tries and only Phi Mu succeeded. Several of the groups which failed had built new houses which they sold at a loss. (I know because I was involved in one of them.) Sentiments aside, sorority executives have to take a hard-nosed look at these opportunities and that is why they often opt not to be in the selection process when openings arise. I have no doubt that my friend's comments reflect the thinking of many other sorority leaders. They would be irresponsible if they did not take such a businesslike approach. My point was that as much as we would all like chapters at these major schools sometimes the risk factor is too great.

You mean "we" as in all the NIC fraternities, right?

Would a rickroll be appropriate here?

Actually, seven presented to Panhellenic, but only two were chosen to colonize. That is way different than saying only two were successful.
