ISUKappa, thank you! I did not include ISU's recently-closed Alpha Xi Delta chapter in the figures, nor did I include non-NPC Phi Beta Chi. I goofed and said ISU had 14 chapters, when the two Big 12 schools with 14 are Texas-Austin and Nebraska. Duh. I edited my post to fix that.
Oh no worries! I think it's interesting that Iowa State, which is not as big of a school as say, Oklahoma, is second only to Texas and Nebraska in the number of chapters on campus! Our Greek Communty is strong, despite the usual criticism and the fact we're a "cow college."

I think the last big expansion effort was in the late '60s-early '70s, of which only one of four chapters remains on campus. Incidently, ZTA, was a recolonization (They were originally chartered in 1926 and left campus in 1939).

There's a whole neat history of the Iowa State Greek Community:

Okay, I'm done touting my school now.
