Erick is right to an extent. The Greek system is different at commuter and extension schools largely. However, this is not always the case.

Many commuter and extension schools are currently morphing into more traditional, full size schools as public education expands. As they expand, so do the GLO chapters there. And as that happens, more of them start to get up to 80-100 members, having large plants and even house moms.

It can happen anywhere with the right alum support and the right leadership. It's not the school so much as the alums and they system. You can have a great system even at your "streetcar" campuses.

40 years ago (or something like that), Erick saw the University of Central Oklahoma, my alma mater. At the time, the greek system there was either not yet started, or just a very small system. The school was a teacher college with the only funeral sciences program in the state. Probably didn't have a lot more than that at the time. Since then, the campus has become largely residential/traditional, we've added MANY new degrees and masters programs, we have some nationally recognized programs including our forensics and broadcasting programs to name two.. And of course, a student body of around 15,000. Vastly larger than it was just a few years ago.

As the university has grown, so has the Greek System. I don't think we're to the point yet where we're adding fraternity chapters at Vo-Tech schools or beauty colleges. I'd probably be against that as well. As long as it's a 4-year college where you can one day call yourself an alumnus of such and such university, I don't see what the problem is.
