Schools that need to open for NPC expansion

I totally wonder about this question as well. Kansas State had increased total total by about 20 over the past couple years, while at the same time opening for extension. TriSigma was supposed to colonize last month, but has pulled back. Seven of 12 existing chapters are under total this spring, and 6 are doing COB (which I am sure opened after the decision to postpone colonization.) I feel badly for TriSigma; it doesn't seem to me that the demand was there to extend at this time.
