Not everyone can build an Alabama McMansion.

Well said. And we for sure are land locked!

IMHO: one chosen to recruit NOW (views Fall '12 and begins Spring '13) and one chosen to recruit in three years (views Fall '15 and begins Spring '16).

Land/housing situation reminds me of a few recently-expanded western campuses.

And which campus recently chose THREE colonies over an 8-or-9 year period? That sounds like a good plan, but at Mississippi choosing three would mean one left-out (and who wants that?)

I also don't know that it makes sense for an org to commit to a colonization six years from now. I realize they could back out, but a lot can change in that timeframe.

North Carolina State University was the campus that has the 3 planned expansions. Kappa Alpha Theta will join in 2013, Kappa Kappa Gamma in 2016, and Alpha Xi Delta in 2019. This is actually the second time that NCSU has had three groups present and then stacked the expansion.

Landlocked is a relative term at Ole Miss. The Administrators have a habit of destroying parking or closing off roads to make walking malls on campus. Many places I parked while I as in school are now faculty parking, gone, malls, or a building. Of course now Newsweek named Ole MIss the #1 Beautiful Campus, so there ya go!
