Or maybe it's a liab issue. Maybe they have had problems when certain types of groups get too large ... any groups - maybe they'd have the same kind of cap for other orgs too - they just haven't been tested i guess. maybe they don't want that many of their students going through whatever process the sorority or fraternity has at that time. maybe they call themselves monitoring or something and they can only monitor so many. not sure but it might be some legitimate admin or liabl issue that doesn't really concern itself with just being in the business of the org. it might go for any org, it's just that no others probably test it out.

I would consider the bolded to be a good reason -- thanks for submitting that!

For example, it might create a HUGE strain on the Registrar (grade verification), community service office (if there is one, for letters of recommendation), or other university office.

I didn't go to an HBCU, so I'm still learning.
