I have noticed in the campus with 6 sororities, that all 6 sororities have great relations with each other and it is a very supportive Panhellenic community. It is not uncommon to see a group of girls hanging out with different letters. On the campus with seven groups, this is not so. I have observed different cliques of some sororities with others, but outside of these cliques, the sorority relations are similar to rivals. On the campus with 4 (now 5) sororities, the Panhellenic spirit is even worse. Every house seems to compete with the others. I was just wondering if this was just me or if your campuses with similar number have similar results. Just wondering

No.

My campus had 6 chapters and we got along pretty well (outside of competitive things like recruitment). I don't think the number of chapters has much to do with it. I have seen the same behavior you describe at schools with 3 chapters and at schools with 11 or 12.

I also don't think that any school is really EVER 100% perfectly Panhellenic. Every school has its moments.
