Gee thanks EtaPhi ZTA! My daughter knows many ZTAs she considers friends!
There are people FAR more qualified to talk about the whys and why nots of adding more options. Money is ALWAYS a factor as is
housing and being certain our recruitment numbers stay high.
AOPiRose knows way more than I do about this.
I think h2oot said it best last year. With such a strong Greek System, there are NO BAD HOUSES. You could put any of these girls in any house on any campus and they would blend right in. But, yes it IS the South. Between the LEGACY of certain groups (and I'm NOT talking JUST birthright) and what the girls are exposed to growing up, many just can't accept that out of say 1000 girls, they aren't one of 70-140 to be invited to ONE or TWO PARTICULAR HOUSES. Take all the other factors of in- house legacies or a chapter's hard line position on legacies, the spots REALLY become limited. These girls, I have no empathy for. The ones that break my heart, and there are soooooooo many, are those that are intiidated by the system or perhaps didn't "shine" those first few minutes.
