You can only add stories if the original structure was designed to support it from an engineering point of view - or you have enough money to shore it up - if that's possible with the design.

As for adding groups, what happens more often when they want to add more than one is that they stack them - what happened to us at Alabama as we were offered the slot after Alpha Phi but it was put off an additional year as the land situation was not approved by the BOT. At UAB when we went on, we were offered the first slot and Alpha Xi Delta the second one, supposed to be two years after. It ended up being 3 years (or maybe 4) as campus conditions didn't warrant it after the second year.

So, all this is to say that the group or the campus can decide to move it out a year - or more - if need be.

I remember this...Delta Gamma rejected campus offers three times between 1984 and January 1990, then accepted June 1990 when their alum base had been built. DG installed in 1991, and Alpha Xi in 1997.

We did not reject 3 offers before accepting. We declined an opportunity to present but never an offer to colonize.
