St. John's is still a heavily commuter based school, but they are phasing it out. When I started school, res life was only 2 years old. I believe res life is 8 years old now and the residential population has grown tremendously to the point where no one (besides incoming freshman) are guaranteed housing. Greek life is doing quite well at St. John's and definitely has grown since I started back in '01. There are more groups on campus now and ALFSA (African and Latino Fraternal and Sororal Alliance) has more groups than they have in the past and more members in the groups. A lot of those groups still remain smaller in numbers as compared to the NPC/IFC orgs, but overall they have more activities and events then groups from the other two councils. I would say the growth of the res life program has helped Greek life grow and in turn benefited all the orgs on campus.
