[IndianaSigKap]

I was talking with an acquaintance who helped out with her chapter's recruitment this year at IU and she mentioned that the university might open again for expansion. As of right now, ASA is scheduled to colonize fall 2012 and possibly Tri Sigma in fall 2013. Apparently, Indiana would like to have all 26 NPC chapters on campus. However, the unhoused situation is still on the table, so to speak. Any new chapter should not expect housing.

In theory, I understand why a campus might want more Greeks. There is quite a bit of academic literature out there showing that Greeks have a high affinity for their undergraduate alma maters and donate at a more frequent rate and a higher dollar amount than non-Greeks. A girl in my grad program worked in university development and we talked about it a few times because she wasn't Greek and didn't really understand why. Luckily, I wasn't the only Greek in the class, a Delta stepped up and helped me out.

Anyway, my question lies in the supposition whether IU, or any other campus for that matter, can support 26 chapters. The undergraduate enrollment is around 40,000. Is having all 26 chapters on campus feasible? What do you think GCers?
