Especially with this comment...

Rather than bringing new groups into a weak system, shouldn't they be trying to fix what they already have?

My school had a "weak system" for many years, in some ways. We lost two fraternities in the process. But interest has risen immensely, one of the fraternities re-colonized, and Greek life is now growing at a very substantial rate. Greeks have a more positive image on campus, and all of the chapters' members are very involved. But that didn't happen by adding more chapters.

And I can't tell you how pissed I would be if collectively, Panhellenic and IFC (or anyone on my campus) thought, "Well, let's just bring more chapters here and let the 'weaker' ones die out," especially if nothing was done to try and help those already-existing chapters in the areas in which they were struggling.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about.. and not just about UWF, but about Greek life expansion in general.
