Yep. Zeta Tau Alpha left in 1996, Alpha Phi left in 1998 and Alpha Xi Delta left in 2003. I was on CPC in 2000 and the VPs of Recruitment really worked hard at promoting the Greek Community, especially to incoming freshman during their senior year of HS.
Even though it seems like a lot of chapters for a few PNMs, I think the system works well for Iowa State. Many of the chapters are strong, older chapters within their respective organizations. Even those that are significantly under total seem to be financially viable, even with a chapter house to maintain, and have strong sisterhoods to offer those who possibly want to belong to a somewhat smaller chapter.
