Pitt TPA
My nephew dated a woman who was a recent TPA grad. To the best of my recollection, they had a suite in Bruce Hall, across the quad from Amos. They had half of a suite in Amos when I was in school in the early 70's. I'm not sure when they lost it. Phi Sigma Sigma folded around 1974 when they went down to about 5 members. I believe that the institution of RFM (release figure method) about 13 years ago really helped even out the size of the chapters. Prior to that, rushees (now known as PNMs) could sign up to rush only the chapters of their own choosing. There were 3 large chapters (DZ, ChiO, and TriDelt), 3 medium chapters (ADPi, Kappa, and Theta), and 5 small chapters (TPA, AEPHi, SDT, DPhiE, and PhiSig/Tri Sig colony). They now appear to be more similar in size and have added KD some time ago and lost SDT. I would be surprised if Pitt chose to expand any time soon. Greek life finally seems to be increasing in size to a reasonable level for a large flagship state university with high academic standards.
