This to the Nth degree.

Just building a house is a huge undertaking - the new ADPi house at Ole Miss cost $5 million. I know the newer houses at Alabama are ginormous so I googled and found that the Phi Mu house cost almost $13 million and the Gamma Phi Beta house cost $10 million. And there's the issue of finding land - not so easy on some campuses.

That alone is enough to put off many a sorority from colonizing on a super-competitive campus like the SEC schools where a stunning house is a must and it's got to be big enough for huge memberships. I can't imagine the operating costs.

Finding local alums to advise the chapter, successfully colonizing, getting girls to consider your house when they've become fixated on the more established chapters, finding a campus where other houses are actually supportive of new chapters, etc., etc - colonization is not for the weak-hearted at all.
