There are probably 8-9 chapters that are at total or are very close, 3-2 that are under by 10-12 and 1-2 that are under 65 members. We've recently lost one sorority and are on the verge of losing another fraternity. Recruitment numbers have steadily been declining since I graduated, which has quite a few people worried. I don't know how affective the new Greek Advisor is; from my understanding she wasn't Greek in school (which isn't a requirement, but it certainly helps). And the increase in off-campus and apartment living combined with budget cuts and changing administration attitudes is seriously affecting the Greek Community.

I thought there were 13 NPC sororities, and then I thought maybe I can't count. So I listed all of em: Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Omicron Pi, Chi Omega, Kappa Delta, Alpha Gamma Delta
And the current Greek Adviser is both an ISU and Greek alumna. I agree that the increase in other housing options, budget cuts and the admin attitude isn't really helping. The number of women going through formal is dropping drastically, I have the numbers at home, but it's been something like a 20% decline in the past 2 -3 years. Hopefully the Greek Alumni Alliance that has been established will be able to help in some way. BTW, the VP of the organization is a Kappa alum!
