What is Total for your GLO's?
 

I am currently advising a Chapter that does not have a Total or Quota system in place at their school. This is allowing some Chapters to become massive while others continually shrink. I am trying to find out the pro’s and con’s of Total/ Quota systems and ideas on how to set one up. I am also trying to find out what the norm for Total is.

Name of the School:
Approx. Student population:
Number of GLO’s:
Total:

:D Any input would be appreciated. :D

Name of the School: University of Arizona
Approx. Student population: 35,000
Number of GLO’s: 12 NPC
Total: 130

ETA: No other group is subject to a total system.

My alma mater....

Middle Tennessee State University
20,000 students
7 NPC sororities, 13 IFC fraternities, 8 NPHC organizations, 1 local sorority
NPC total is 80, but I don't know what the other totals are.
7-9% of campus is Greek


My grad school....
Vanderbilt University
6300 students
10 NPC sororities, 1 Latin sorority, 14 IFC fraternities, 1 Latin fraternity, 6 NPHC organizations
I don't what total is, but the average sorority is 171 members and the average fraternity is 70 members.
42% of campus is Greek

Name of the School: Auburn University
Approx. Student population: approx 23,000
Number of GLO’s: 16 NPC sororities
Total: 191

Name of the School: San Fran State U.
Approx. Student population: approx 23,000
Number of GLO’s: 35 GLO's 3 NPC sororities, 3 IFC Fraternities
Total: Total for NPC sororities is 45.

Name of the School: University of Texas Dallas
Approx. Student population: 7800
Number of GLO’s: 2 NPC
Total: 50

Both groups are close to equal in size.

Name of the School: University of Michigan-Flint
Approx. Student population: 6500
Number of GLO’s: 2 NPC, 1 IFC, 1 local fraternity, 1 local sorority, 3 NPHC
Total: I believe that total is 30 or 35

I am not sure of this year's numbers but I think these were last year's. sherbertlemons may have the figures from this year.

Name of school: University of Central Florida
Student population: 35,000
Number of GLO's: 10 NPC
9 NPHC
19 IFC
3 DGC
NPC Total: I think it's 130 but I'm not positive

Northern Arizona University
School Population: is around 13,000.
Number of GLO's:We have 7 NPC,
12 IFC,
1 NHPC (recognized by University, but is inactive)
2 Latin Sororities
1 Latin Frat.

Size of a sorority is about 40 memebers give or take a few.(I'm not really that sure since mine is a small group).

Size of a Fraternity is about the same as the sororities.

NO HOUSES ON CAMPUS. DX is the only frat with a house(OFF Campus). :)

ZTAngel,

What's a DGC ???????? I'm new to the whole Greek system so I don't know all the little initials or lingo.

Diversified Greek Council. Lambda Theta Alpha, Mu Sigma Upsilon, and Sigma Lambda Gamma are a part of it.

Name of the School: Millersville University of Pennsylvania
Approx. Student population: 7,800
Number of GLO’s: 6 NPC, 6 IFC 2 local sororities, 1 local fraternity, 7 NPHC
Total: 45

I think total is set only for NPC sororities and the 2 locals. Only about 5% of the school is greek, so all but one sorority is way under total.

MIT:

Student population is about 5,000 undergrad.
GLOs: 5 NPC, 25 IFC, 3 NPHC, 6 independent living groups (see below)
NPC total: 80
NPC quota: Historically has been around 30. This past year they went to deferred sorority recruitment, and quota was (I think) 21.

(Independent living groups are sort of like local fraternities. One is all-female, the others are coed. They have their own governing council equivalent to IFC and Panhel, and their own rush, which happens in the fall at the same time as fraternity rush.)

Hmmm. That number for total is way off from what I've been told. My understanding was that total was 105, but that we had grown past that number ages ago. (The average NPC chapter size at UCF is 151.)

Maybe I'm misinformed, though.

Texas Tech University
 

Name of the School: Texas Tech University
Student population: Approx. 29,000
Number of GLOs: 11 NPC sororities
2003 Quota: 52 + additions
Total: 165

Edited enrollment numbers.
