During the 1960s through the 1980s so many dramatic changes were taking place in the Greek world -- some good, some bad, often counter-balancing each other.
The bad: At many old and established Greek systems chapters were closing regularly (just check your own sorority's chapter roster).
The good: To counter balance this sorority administrators were seeking new institutions to establish chapters where Greek life had not previously been offered.
The bad: The percentage of students who elect to become Greeks is much lower today at most institutions than they were in the 1950s.
The good: Many more schools offer the opportunity for Greek membership today which probably evens out the loss at other institutions.
I am sure there are many other factors like this.
