Anyhow...I am sorry but most of the people on here just don't understand. Ole Miss is like a whole other world. It takes $$$$ to survive on the Ole Miss campus. And while not all the houses are the same size...there are a few that are slightly smaller in numbers...they have the numbers to pay the bills. The ones who closed just couldn't get the numbers. They were not terrible groups of girls, but it is extremely difficult to keep up without numbers...and it is difficult to get numbers without a reputation.
And to the person who said that less than 50% of Ole Miss girls are greek...THAT IS HUGE. Do you realize that most schools only have about 10% that are greek? My sister went to University of Tennessee ans only 17% were greek there...and they have a great greek system...so saying that ONLY about 50% of ole miss girls are greek is a HUGE #..
**Ole Miss only has about 13,000 students.
You really just have to understand the school, the state, the tradition...and all of the current houses are so established...I don't know how girls would respond to a new group. SWince Kappa Alpha Theta was chartered in 1979....2 other chapters have closed So many other organizations are afraid to invest in a new chapter that could very likely fail.
Even though not all the houses are the same size...they are all still strong groups--even the ones who are slightly smaller in #s

I think you've summed things up very well. It's a whole new ballgame at Ole Miss, and I think that those who
do understand but aren't Ole Miss alumnae are just in awe!
