Some points:
At the MAJORITY of schools, there are more fraternities than sororities. This is because IFC does not set quota and total as Panhellenic does and the fraternities are more likely to be widely varying sizes. Penn State has over twice the number of fraternities as sororities. (And last I looked, their Greek system is pretty strong.)
If "none of the sororities really stand out", why on earth do you think a new group will help? They're going to be recruiting from the same student body, unless they take a bunch of girls who are the complete opposite of anyone in the Greek system, and after the initial wow they will sink like a stone.
You are very uneducated talking about an expansion process you obviously know NOTHING about and haven't bothered to research. If you are indicative of the Greek system at UWF, no wonder they are having problems.

Right, well you sound like your somebody who tries too hard. Sorry, at least my logic doesn't have to use insults to bring a point across.
New organizations always bring out people who never went greek before mainly because they never had interest in the current organizations. An example would be PIKE right now. People never wanted to go greek before because the organizations currently on campus were not for them. They obviously do not like how they are ran so there for they want to go out and run their own organizations.
Obviously, you don't go to UWF and you don't know what goes on there. UWF is always adding something each year. The commons area has added about 3 new places to eat and is going to add more restaurants in the near future. Science and Engineering building opens up in the next 6-12 months. After that there will be a new dorm up in 2010. The athletics logo had a new make over, which FYI that shit costs a TON of money to do.
After that I am sure they will find some new shit to build. There is always talk for more expansion as well. It's a never ending concept because UWF is trying so hard to keep up with universities that opened around the same time that it did that are way more advanced. And everyone wants to expand. And at some rate, they are going to be forced to. The student population is rising each year and pretty soon UWF will need to support all these new people.
And another thing you don't understand is that UWF has a very low budget. They are dependant ALOT on alumni support because the city of Pensacola is very poor and the University doesn't get as much funding as other schools. I am sure more greek organizations will make room for more alumni that are very likely to support UWF and help it grow.
Greek Life keeps expanding at UWF. UWF has added AXO, Sigma Chi and Phi Beta Sigma in the last 3 years and now PIKE is starting to work it's way into a colony next semester. I THINK they wouldn't mind a few more organizations considering the recent evidence.
