Thanks for the explanation Zillini. Not having seen the campus it seems CRAZY that you wouldn't double your number of chapters, but you're right that if you had a new chapter that had to go into a house that could hold 40 girls and is a mile off campus, there would be no point. I actually think the financial issue wouldn't be as big a deal. The various nationals have pretty good resources and with chapters total like this, they'd recoup their investment in no time.... less than 20 years being no time in my book. But if you have to have a house before you start the process (and it sounds like you do) then the development issue is a sound one. I'm sure DG agrees. Does A Phi have a house and is it (the structure, not the girls) good enough? I'm sure the girls are great, and yes, I know the house doesn't make the chapter. But it's really hard to tell a wide-eyed 18 year old girl that. But I find this whole thing very interesting. I'd love to participate in a recruitment in the south some day. Maybe I'll end up living in the vicinity at some point and can be an advisor.
