As for why smaller organizations aren't there, well, I hate to sound mean, but Stockton hit the jackpot when a group like Tri Delta expressed interest. I'd be willing to bet that they got very few "big sorority" packets of interest. I honestly wonder what made Tri Delta want to go to Stockton, but that's just my cynical nature and by no means a knock against Stockton or Tri Delta. I think you all have a fabulous organization.
.... So if you're saying that a sorority/fraternity can't function well or serve its collegiate members fully because they don't have a large paid staff, I would beg to differ.
OK, off my soapbox

Ok, I'm not saying that hazing doesn't happen on my campus; I know it does.
We did have a few other big names offer...we were just strongly suggested/guided/told basically to go with a larger name. All we have are larger GLOs on campus: AGD, DZ, ZTA, Tri Sig. I won't even go into the guys, since I don't know what is large for them. I'll do some more research...
Also as Russell stated, our school was founded 34 years ago- with no Greek Life whatsoever. It wasn't until the 80's Greeks were allowed on campus; we're expanded leaps and bounds in Greek Life. We're one of the most competitive schools in the nation(behind bucknell and tied with sarah lawrence), and in the top 5 liberal arts college. (can you tell i'm an athetics ambassador? lol) We, as a college, have a lot to offer.
I'm not the one who said a small sorority/fraternity cannnot support its members. The administration is saying that. Example: last expansions (on NIC/NPC level) Tri Delta, ZTA, TKE, Kappa Sig (and KDR tried to exapand, but there was not enough interest).
I'm saying if other administarations believe the same as college's administration, then perhaps the smaller org's might have difficutly. Please do not think I do not like smaller orgs, or have something against them- my best friend is a Phi Sig (even though I don't consider them small with 100+ chapters), I work with a Theta Phi Alpha and a D Phi E. I'm using my personal experience to highlight what might happen in the future, if other local groups are told the same things.
