The campus is pretty well stuck with what they currently have as far as sorority housing and availability.

It's no fault by SK that their first few recolonizing years occurred during a worldwide pandemic AND a well-planned, decade-long general rebuilding of Greek homes by nearly every campus group. In addition, any plans made in 2018 by SK and Alabama to build a new SK home by 2024 changed dramatically due to wildly increased costs for labor and materials.

IMO it isn't logically feasible to close this SK chapter and try colonizing yet another NPC group. Monetary cost is one reason. Another is the Alabama Greek Campus isn't going to magically change by having a different new group to possibly and/or automatically garner more members.

I couldn't agree more. I don't think they'll close them. They're hanging in there, and they have a great group of women.
