I was thinking the same thing. To have ALL sororities meet quota is absolutely amazing to me. The year I went through was the year Theta closed here (University of South Carolina), meaning that there were a grand total of 4 out of 10 sororities not meeting quota... maybe 5, but that's all just speculation. I just find it amazing that there's not even ONE sorority not making quota. I think this year there were still 2 sororities that didn't make it (I'm not exactly in the loop anymore) and that was WITH 2 sororities in 2 years closing.
The guy who said that the small chapters just get replaced by other small chapters is exactly true. I was reading numbers from I think 1999 the other day at USC, and Kappa used to be larger than ZTA. Now ZTA's one of the largest (if not THE largest) and Kappa is the smallest. Now, granted, size isn't everything.... Kappa has made some HUGE improvements in their chapter since I rushed. They're on campus doing everything, they're taking positions on Sorority Council and Cabinet, and (not to be superficial) their girls have gotten a lot cuter since I rushed. But, for whatever reason, they're the smallest now. And when they take quota this year in rush (I have full confidence they will!) there will be another sorority there to take their place as the smallest. Oh, and when I say smallest, I mean that there are two sororities sitting (once again, my numbers may be a little off since I'm out of the loop) around 125 members while there are other sororities sitting at around 250.
Point being, congratulations to Ole Miss for being able to have a great Greek Life system. You must be doing something right.
