The majority of women at CMU are extremely focused and career-minded. The university will want an organization that has a strong national reputation to provide networking sources for their graduates in addition to the CMU alumni associations.
The rushees (prospective members) are by far not all freshman, many don't know about references and legacies, and they can pretty much get into the house they want. If a student does not get her top house she won't have worry about making an error in joining any group because even if the chapter isn't "good" the national level is incomparable.
Look at all the Ivy League and other schools like MIT etc. These academic powerhouses are all somewhat hesitant about greek life (a bias on their part) and thus tend to only allow chapters with very strong national reputations.
As a CMU Greek, I would like to see Pi Phi because of their reputation. We need to have a national that has the resources tol truly support their colony and young chapter.
