Gotta pick a bone with ya Erik on the U corpus thing. If you're refering to a campus in Texas, there is no U Corpus. There is Texas A&M Corpus Christi, and it has a rocking greek life. As a matter of fact, it's 'the hot new campus' to be at right now. They allowed greeks on campus about 10 years ago or so and have 3 NPC groups and 3 or 4 NIC groups. The Alumni Association that I am a part of in San Antonio is urging our HQ to consider placing a colony there. The campus has an enrollment of 8,249 students and thats a 4.5% increase from the same period last year. Most educational institutions in south Texas are growing at an alarming rate, due to numerous factors including UT and A&M being 'maxed out' in terms of enrollment, increased funding from the state legislature to increase educational opportunities in the area, an ever increasing general population, an increased desire on the part of residents in the area to seek higher education, and the university improving its educational offerings. (See enrollment figures at

So I dont know where youre getting your info from, but the part about U Corpus is just plain wrong. Kinda makes me wonder what else from your info is wrong.
BTW: From your list mentioned, Phi Delt is there. Beta is there. Sig Ep is there too.
