From my graduate studies, there is quite a bit of evidence out there that shows Greek students contribute more as alumni than non-Greek students do. My classmates who work in development all know this. I would guess that like other public universities, IU wants to increase alumni giving. By expanding the greek system, the donations should increase in a few years. Also, I know that the Greek Life office at IU takes a PR hit every year after recruitment. I would also hazard a guess that they might be a little tired of fielding the calls from special snowflakes and their mothers. Yes, they do get phone calls from mothers.
