There are many factors that determine if a sorority's colonization is successful. Starting at a very competitive Greek school like OM is tough. Also a factor is how well the national chooses members (did they go for numbers or quality, etc.). Is that sorority known in the area? Is there good local alum support? I had a relative here (in Kappa) right after Theta started - she said back then OM had few OOS students so no-one knew how strong Theta was nationally. Now OM has so many OOS students that new chapters like ADPi and APhi have a better shot since they're known elsewhere. The number of girls going through recruitment was much smaller back then (my relative said most houses had about 150 girls total) so fewer girls were left without a house to pledge. I read on this board last fall - after recruitment ended - girls said they didn't pledge because they pref parties were ADPi and APhi and they "wanted a house with history at OM" - and that happens. Which means Theta would be up against that as well, not to mention not having a physical house for a few years which girls also want (especially back then since my relative said everyone moved into the house their sophomore year which was tradition).
