The University of South Carolina voted to expand this past spring and only two groups, Alpha Xi Delta and Gamma Phi Beta, submitted packages. However, I do think the fact that all of the sororities opened houses this fall had a lot to do with the low response.
One thing that seemed really odd to me was that Pi Beta Phi did not submit a package. They were on this campus from 1931 - 1985, and their current national president is from this chapter that is now closed. I would have thought they would have jumped at the chance to come back. Of course, we have also had two groups fold in the past two years (Theta in 2001 and DG in 2003) and I think that may have had an impact.
I was really surprised that more groups did not express interest.
