Well obviously, the local closed because they didn't want to affiliate.

I'm guessing the other two closed because they didn't have enough members and couldn't compete with the other groups. As I said, no one wants to be on the bottom of the pile from the moment they begin.

The three sororities at your campus are all VERY old and it's going to be VERY hard for a new group to come on and compete with that sort of history. For what it's worth, I personally think a school with that many people should have more than 3 sororities too - but I'm in a different part of the country. What works in PA doesn't work in KS & vice versa.

Right now, are there so many women going through rush that the current sororities are all over total? Has this been going on for a while? Are the current sororities complaining about being too large? Once all that happens, expansion will be welcome. But probably not before.

Fraternities and sororities approach operations and expansion differently. PERIOD.
