Around 1970-71 at West Georgia, the local sororities and fraternities went NPC/IFC national/international.

There were 5 sororities but I don't know how many fraternities. The fraternities seem to come and go and come and go but the same 5 NPC sororities and now 1 more have stayed.

I wanted to bump this thread. Does anyone know of any recently established (i.e. last 10-15 years) greek systems at smaller (<5,000) universities? My school is in talks of starting a Greek system and I was hoping to present some information at a university committee meeting. Thanks!

Cal State San Marcos started its greek system from scratch about 15 years ago. They started with 2 fraternities and 2 sororities ... The 2 sororities are still there and both are doing very well.

Embry-Riddle Aero. Univ in Prescott, AZ started their sororities about 17 or 18 years ago .. I think the fraternities had been there for a few years before that. This is a small school with, I think, < 3000 students.

I'm sure there have been some at some smaller schools. Webster University just added an NPC sorority and a fraternity, and I don't think they're a very large school.

Also, Penn College of Technology plans to add Tri Sigma as its first sorority in the fall.

There are two very recent ones I can think of because of our Gamma Phi Beta chapters installed there. The total student enrollment at each school is a little over 6000.

-University of Texas at Tyler with three sororities (Gammma Phi Beta, Alpha Chi Omega and Delta Gamma) installed in 2006.

-University of Arkansas at Fort Smith with two sororities (Gamma Phi Beta and Delta Gamma) installed in 2007.

I was going to mention Penn. We'll be colonizing in the fall as well. They recently added the fraternities when they went to a four year.
