(and i think its only 4 organizations that have "houses") makes it hard to party when your "house" is a 3-bedroom suite in chinatown.
as for NPHC, no chapters on campus. there *was* talk about bringing Alphas to campus, but i dont see it happening. as for having a campus presence, you may see an AKA here or there. Deltas, i see coming up. Kappas, maybe. youre more likely to see an NPHC member as a grad student. Lambda Pi Chi, Lambda Upsilon Lambda, and Sigma Lambda Upsilon are around as well.
I could definitely see greek life on the up-and-up in the next 10 years there.

Yeah, I remember Greek life being bigger and more apparent in the late 80's - early 90's. Even though many of the NPHC UG chapters here are City-wide, the presence was always there nonetheless. You might have seen only one AKA @ NYU, but you knew that there were about 3-4 @ Columbia and so forth in the same chapter. My UG school actually had an NPHC chapter there, but I believe it may have been dissolved due to lack of members over the last few years.
Now when you hear about NPHC events in the city, it's usually hosted by a graduate/alumni/alumnae chapter.
