The fortunate part is that there are so many PNMs that the unhoused groups are still left with a large pool of worthy women to choose from. It is my understanding that we are all maintaining healthy sized chapters of quality members, it's just the stigma of being an unhoused group that we have to deal with. As far as marketing being unhoused as a positive, I'm betting that the number of women choosing unhoused groups for the fact that they are unhoused is minuscule at best. I think it is more of a case of a PNM wanting ABC badly enough that they are willing to overlook the lack of housing, rather than wanting ABC because it is unhoused.

This. I doubt very seriously that there are very many women walking around campus saying, "Geez, I'd really like to be a part of that Greek scene but I sure hate those giant Greek houses." They likely don't want to be in Greek life for many other reasons. The house isn't the thing keeping them out. For many people, even in our campuses without Greek housing, a giant chapter house is the DREAM. I'm not really sure why since it is usually expensive, cramped and not that nice (unless you are in one of those new houses which are still expensive, cramped but maybe a little nicer.)
