For a variety of reasons (most of which I'm not privy to, but I have a few ideas) the Greek system at Iowa went into freefall for awhile. Then they started using RFM and it seems there was a whiplash that made it WORSE. But last year it seemed to work correctly. Iowa has even been doing a semi-structured informal for the last few (several?), and that would have been beyond bizarre when I was there.

I think the chapters would be happy with a real chapter total at 110 (where virtually all of the chapters are at total). When it was 120 they expanded twice within several years, but unfortunately neither made it in the long term. Plus, SDT left and AEPhi came in. I don't have any idea what that was about.
