I just saw this thread! Old AOPi and I come out of the woodwork every year about this time!
When I was in college, we went to all the houses. At that time it was even more difficult because Phi Mu and ADPi were located away from greek row behind Harper Schramm Smith. Now, all the sorority houses are on the same side of the street right next to each other (except ADPi, which is not housed). I've mentioned here before that almost all the chapters at Nebraska are single letter chapters and mine is 125 years old! I think only Phi Mu and ADPi are under 100 years old, and they may be getting close.
In 2007, my younger daughter visited Nebraska for a Red Letter Day and we went to the Greek Life session. Two things that are different at Nebraska than a lot of places--fraternity rush is during the summer and guys can get out of their housing contracts and move right in to the house; and the sororities do not use a quota system....and I couldn't tell you exactly how they come up with the numbers of the pledge classes because all I remember is that it was some magical number having to do with room in the house/number of Lincoln girls and some kind of fairy dust.
I will admit that I was one of those slacker sorority girls who really had no clue what was going on most of the time, so until it was pointed out here at greekchat that Nebraska doesn't have a "quota", I was wondering where my mind was all those years ago (besides on my high maintenance boyfriend) and why I'd never heard a thing about a quota.
Best of luck.....maybe there are keys and fleur de lis in your future???
