Yes, from what I understand UTEP was a competitive campus back "in the day" but now we get less than 100 pnms go through formal recruitment.

It seems like panhel would want to bring another NPC on board if only to help even out the numbers in fraternities to sororities...

I think its because the amount of guys at LUC is 30%, along with the fact that a good portion of them are gay (who tend to not rush, though SAE does have some). You also have a lot of club sports which take up a lot of time which makes guys also not join. And ADG has had a reputation based on a lie that followed them for the past 5 years or so. They do have a house, but its not very nice looking, I think alumni are remodeling/renovating it very soon though.

From what I hear Panhel is very receptive to the idea of a number group, it would shake up the recruitment dynamic because a sorority hasn't colonized here since AXO in the early 90s. It would also be interesting to see how LUC goes from 4 npc/4 nic campus which makes things "relatively" equal, to a 5 npc/4 nic campus. Plus since the group would have no reputation, it would be interesting the girls that do join it. All people I know really want another sorority to colonize, including some older girls who never rushed but regret it. (Rushing as a sophomore here limits you a lot)

I think I'm glad I chose not to go here....(please don't take offense to that, as I thought it was a great school...but 30% guys?) I wasn't aware that Kappa was on campus there either. I must have missed that during my tour. I'll be interested to see if they do colonize another sorority. I have friends at Loyola, but not in Greek Life.
