Of which were all big houses in terms of membership. Others due to membership, Kappa Sig and Phi Delt. I believe Delta Tau Delta is scheduled to come onto campus, they have been attempting to expand by one IFC chapter each semester.
Another issue is that traditional houses are being converted into apartments. Thus there is no space for some chapters in terms of housing. Off the top of my head I can think of three houses that have been converted, and one that is about to be converted.

What would you (or any others who might know) say *is* the campus culture? More to the point, are there less men going through rush? And if so, why?
And for what it is worth, the NIC has advocated for years that member fraternities should rush 365 days a year. The concept of a "structured rush week" was more of less to allow freshmen the opportunity to view all the chapters at one time.
