The Panhellenic community there does recognize the need, but member groups are apprehensive, nothing happens, and chapters just keep getting bigger.

They set a record this year I'm pretty sure (quota was past 100.)

But they DO recognize the need for it.

Right, and like I said, I acknowledge there are some HUGE hurdles at some schools, probably the ones with the highest quotas for that reason. Not sure there's an easy solution there other than the entire school rallying behind a new chapter to ensure it survives (which requires ditching a lot of the tier bullshit that is still 'important' at some schools).

Not knowing Arkansas campus culture, I wonder if the sororities and fraternities could or would pull together like that in a show of support that would ease some of those fears, and if it would last.
