You are justifiably annoyed. Being a colony on any campus is a tough thing to handle and not something just any girl can handle. Getting abuse from parents and/or people who should know better than to belittle the new kids is just ridiculous.

I think there is room for unhoused chapters or chapters who function similar to the rest of the known Greek world (where a portion, maybe not even the majority of the sisters live in for 3 years), even among the preferred system at IU. I'm sure there are great girls who choose not to participate in Greek life because they are practical enough to know that living with 150 girls under the same roof for 3 extremely stressful years may not be the best idea ever. Are those "alternative" chapters going to appeal to the traditional NPC member at IU? Maybe not. But it's a big school and providing an alternative seems like a good idea as far as I'm concerned.
