St. Louis University is a Jesuit school with about 4000 or so undergrads. Greek life isn't huge on campus, but those who are greek go pretty hard. Quotas have been 40-50 over the past few years and chapter sizes range from 100-160 but it depends on the chapter and the year.
There are 13 fraternities and 5 (now 6) sororities (no locals) The fraternities range from... um.. big to tiny. Some of the smaller ones have like 8 guys, the larger have 100 or so. (approximation)
The five sororities are ADPi, GPhiB, DG, KD, and SK
Delta Gamma is the current youngest chapter on campus with 5 full years under their belt.
There are no sorority houses (and only one fraternity house). There is a Greek dorm where each sorority and fraternity (not all of the guys participate) get a wing or some other arrangement of rooms. The RAs are all Greek as is the housing coordinator for the building. Most people live in the dorm for their sophomore year and perhaps junior year. (Freshmen have specific housing) After that they live in on or off campus apartments, often with their sisters. All chapters have been offered space in DeMattias for a chapter room (though I don't know where they'll add another one) however they're too small for actual chapter meetings. We've had chapter in the lecture halls and auditoriums as well as meeting rooms in the Student Center and Administrative buildings.
Major Greek Events on campus include:
Greek Week
SLUperbowl - powderpuff football run by SPhiE - we all play for keeps
Derby Days
Also each sorority has a philanthropy week of events that the fraternities get involved in (and depending on the events the others sororities too)
Phew... any other questions?

Uh....you have a much larger Greek system than you are giving the school credit for.
If you say each of the 5 sorority houses is at 100 (on the low side according to you) that's 500 for them and if you say there are the same number of men in fraternities (500 - which is an average of 38 per house) you get 25% of the campus that's greek and that's a huge %. And I'm probably low.........
