Think
If you want to add chapters, think outside the box.
Sure, you and your members and friends and alums would like to start new chapters at Big 10, SEC, Ivy Lg., and major impressive GLO systems, and you can if you totally commit every asset and resource you have (people and $$$) to that one colony for about five years.
On the other hand, you could start five colonies at lesser schools, for less $$$ and effort.
These five lesser school colonies might prosper and grow, because they would have less competition, and the existing competition might be housed in old family residences (not U Miss-style columned mansions), might be smaller in number of members, and might be less competitive.
I would urge you to follow the path many of the fraternities (such as LXA, SPE, TKE) have done and build your number of chapters at the smaller and less-known schools. If you start chapters at Butler, Ball State, and Tri-State, perhaps an opportunity to start at IU, Purdue, or DePauw will come along in a few years.
Good luck.
