as few are left?
Please ignore the comment, though, as I did not intend to offend any particular person or school; I could have used Slippery Rock, Clarion, Portland, Kansas Wesleyan, or a slew of others.
And, my visits to those places were all too brief, just to
make quick assessments and fill out reports.
Great changes often resulted after a local has gone 'national.'
Tremendous transformations, mostly good.
But my over-all point is that Wisconsin will come back, and the
hike in tuition certainly did not enhance out of state recruitment.

Most of the locals on Platteville's campus went national - and it definitely was for the better. One male local and two female locals are still open.
I think a big problem with Wisconsin Greek life is unfriendly administrations and townies - I know my chapter had quite a problem with neighbors in one of our former houses.
