HUNDREDS of women are going unmatched this year so that chapters that originally colonized in order to give more women the opportunity to go greek can suddenly drastically reduce their quotas? That doesn't sound right to me.
Also I'm not sure why you put unhoused in quotes when that's what those chapters are. Do you want me to call them "off-campus" like many other people do? Because that's obviously incorrect terminology.

They can very well pick and choose who they want; I'm sure that out of the 300 or so girls who went unmatched this year that there are girls who preferenced both chapters and didn't get them back.

I'm sorry but this is BULLSHIT. Just because it's IU with the assy bed rush does not mean the right to membership selection should go out the window. If a chapter decides there are only 3 women coming through rush that meet the standards they have set locally and nationally - THEY ONLY HAVE TO TAKE THREE, they do not have to recruit to quota, if that's ok'ed by their regional/national leadership. That goes for ANY campus. Panhellenic has ZERO right to ask chapters to take women that don't match their standards, or to take more women than the chapter can handle internally. I'm proud as hell of my sisters for not caving to such a ridiculous and obviously discriminatory request.

for any future PNM thinking of IU and wanting to increase the odds of getting into an IU sorority... what about going somewhere else and joining a sorority there
