This might sound like a dumb question, but wasn't it at one point joining a sorority was a "no no" at Harvard?
I say this because one Founder's Day we had a speaker here and she went to Harvard (at least I'm 99% sure it was Harvard). She was on scholarship and what not. She was offered a bid to DG but in the end she had to drop out because Harvard threatened to pull her scholarship for joining a social sorority. She said at the time if you (a student) joined a social sorority that it was kept "hush hush" because the school wasn't supportive of them.
Now if this is true it doesn't make any sense to me at all. She went to school in the late 90's early 2000's. I don't understand why a school would say stuff like this for sororities that they willingly brought onto their campus. I don't know if this is true or not.
On another note, 150 girls gathered for bid night of 3 sororities is pretty good numbers. That is at most 50 girls per chapter, that is a pretty good size chapter (although I don't know the undergrad size, but since Harvard is a private institution I would guess like 15, 000 if even that much) for the amount of undergrads.
