A bit late to the game...but my two cents...
I wonder how many of the other sororities are starting completely new chapters vs re-colonizations as well. The statistic hunter in me would love to see the NPC data and compare our growth vs others.
Thinking back to my own colony days, I seem to remember that Tri Delta has a preference (policy?) for recolonizing inactive chapters. I'd be interested to see if this is true. For example, let's say 10 universities in a given year are open to expansion, and of those 10, 6 have inactive chapters. Is it the expansion committee's decision to pursue those 6 and not the others? Kind of like how legacies had to be invited to the second round in the past? Or is each expansions evaluated on its own merits? Things to ponder...
