Yes, it is feasible, IF

IF enough women decide that they could care less about living in houses, then IU could easily support all 26 plus probably a few others. But if the "IU sorority life = living in a house with all your sisters" tradition refuses to die, then they won't even be able to support the one they have.

This is a moot point now as the new unhoused chapters could conceivably take much larger amounts of members than the housed chapters currently do. I think that's the reasoning behind it in the first place.

It's what the students want. Pittsburg State in Kansas (one of our oldest chapters is there) has had only 3 sororities for a very long time. Attempts to add another were unsuccessful. I personally look at that and can't imagine a school of its size having that little selection, but it is what the students want. That is the final, determining factor. Panhel and the school administration and the nationals can do whatever, sink whatever money in, but if it isn't ultimately what the students want, it will fail. If the students want it and see value in it, it will succeed.
