Aww. RIP Pip.
And I think ktsnake is right - a lot of the times the "top" schools don't want Greek life and if they don't outright ban it, they discourage it. Guys can choose to come and start a colony if they want, but it's different for NPCs. But I can see the thinking of "do I want to go to Colgate and have to fight the administration constantly, or do I want to go to JustTurnedIntoAUniversity U, where they are ASKING us to come in?"
It's like the lack of participation by the more traditionally elitist schools is forcing Greeks to be less elitist if they want to survive....only for them to be called "elitist" by the nonGreek students at the antielitist schools they colonize at.
I'm going to walk away from this thread, come back later (after a Frappacino maybe) and see if that makes sense.
