Not sure how those are really working out since the newest chapter did not stay around 75 which is the size of several of the unhoused fraternities and a lot of women still did not match after formal recruitment.

I was thinking more that the university was hoping these chapters would be the sorority equivalent of a megachurch and take all the unbid women under their wings so people would STFU about the system being too selective (without the uni actually doing anything to change it). In other words, an attempt to placate everyone.
Don't smaller fraternities ever get together for a mixer? In other words (random names) KKG, SAE and TKE could all mix together? Or is the competition between fraternities too strong to allow that?
