33girl you're totally right. A chapter with 300 members is not a Greek experience that I, nor I think any of my fellow IU greeks, would want.
With this in mind, extension is really the only other option that we have to help more women find a place in the Greek system. We truly hope that if an organization chooses to extend on this campus it will succeed. We understand that this new chapter will need a lot of support and we plan on providing that.
One thing I don't think has been mentioned on the topic of extension-- there are several chapters at IU now that rechartered in the 80s without houses. Those chapters have flourished. I personally know a woman who was part of one of the unhoused chapters and she said that not having a house didn't negatively affect her Greek experience.
Hopefully this is the same experience that other women will have in a few years.
