Decision Support MVP

Phi Delta Theta Expansion Propensity Engine

Workbook-inspired inputs, but with a more resilient scoring architecture: every factor is normalized to a 0 to 100 scale using mode-aware logic and robust percentile bounds rather than brittle spreadsheet thresholds.

Controls

Starts on non-Phi Delta campuses with the default 50/50 model split.

Increase Factor Weight

Check one or more factors to give them extra influence within their bucket.

Undergraduate Enrollment

Larger undergraduate populations create more recruitment headroom.

When checked, this factor counts extra inside Campus Attractiveness.

Undergraduate Male Population

Fifty percent male is the baseline; higher percentages are increasingly attractive and lower percentages are less attractive.

When checked, this factor counts extra inside Campus Attractiveness.

Enrollment Momentum

Zero growth is the baseline; positive growth is increasingly attractive, and the positive scale is intentionally compressed around 10% growth.

When checked, this factor counts extra inside Campus Attractiveness.

Retention Rate

Higher retention usually supports stronger member continuity.

When checked, this factor counts extra inside Campus Attractiveness.

Prestige Band

Higher institutional brand equity can support long-term chapter relevance.

When checked, this factor counts extra inside Campus Attractiveness.

Phi Delt Chapter Presence

Current Phi Delt campuses score highest, inactive campuses are mid-range, and non-Phi campuses start lower.

When checked, this factor counts extra inside Greek Market Strength.

Greek System Present

A campus with fraternities scores high; a campus with no fraternities still keeps a floor score because expansion can create a system.

When checked, this factor counts extra inside Greek Market Strength.

IFC Chapter Count

A larger fraternity system signals a stronger Greek market, with diminishing returns on scale.

When checked, this factor counts extra inside Greek Market Strength.

Nearest Phi Delt Chapter

Closer Phi Delt chapter presence strengthens expansion adjacency, with 50 as the floor and 10 miles as the top range.

When checked, this factor counts extra inside Greek Market Strength.

Nearest Alumni Club

Closer alumni infrastructure strengthens support potential, with 50 miles as the strongest range and a broader distance window than chapters.

When checked, this factor counts extra inside Greek Market Strength.

Campus Attractiveness75.7

Greek Market Strength80.1

Nearest Chapter: 34.1 miles

Nearest Alumni Club: 103.9 miles

Factor Breakdown

Undergraduate Enrollment94.5

Input: 18,937

Undergraduate Enrollment uses enrollment bands to prevent very large campuses from dominating on size alone. 18,937 students places this school in the 90-point band, then the 73% male mix adjusts that score by +4.5.

Undergraduate Male Population76.1

Input: 73

Undergraduate Male Population treats 50% male as the baseline and rewards schools above that threshold on a proportional scale.

Enrollment Momentum71.5

Input: 0.74

Enrollment Momentum treats any positive growth as a strong signal. 0.7% growth starts well above neutral and scales quickly toward the top of the range.

Retention Rate73.8

Input: 89.5

Retention Rate uses 80% as the target baseline. 89.5% retention scores above 50 and climbs progressively higher from there.

Prestige Band50.0

Input: Missing

Prestige Band was missing, so a neutral score was applied.

Phi Delt Chapter Presence25.0

Input: No Phi Delta Theta chapter

Phi Delt Chapter Presence scores 25 because this campus does not currently have a Phi Delta Theta chapter.

Greek System Present100.0

Input: 26 fraternities

Greek System Present scores 100 because this campus has at least one fraternity and therefore a Greek system.

IFC Chapter Count100.0

Input: 26

IFC Chapter Count scales from 25 points at zero chapters up to 100 points at 25 chapters, so larger systems help without over-rewarding extreme size.

Nearest Phi Delt Chapter93.7

Input: 34.1 miles

Nearest Phi Delt Chapter uses 50 as the baseline floor and scores higher as the nearest chapter gets closer than 200 miles.

Nearest Alumni Club94.0

Input: 103.9 miles

Nearest Alumni Club uses 50 as the baseline floor and scores higher as the nearest alumni club gets closer than 500 miles.
