SigmaGrrl: The reason why there are less sororities on campuses is because NPC and nationals have quotas that houses must meet. Every campus has a Panhell that dictates who comes and goes...if they feel that too many girls aren't getting into houses because lack of space, THEY go out and search for a national to come. Usually, this is rare, unless a campus gets a huge influx of women in their freshman class that all want to go greek...fraternities don't have the stringent colonization standards as sororities. On our campus, the 6 we have have a hard time all filling quota of 100, we did have 7, but ZTA died out 5 years ago. All our sororities have a house, and for a new sorority to come in and get a house in our city would be a difficult task.
