Since I'm an IU student, I guess I could put my $0.02 into the picture. I'm also a newbie (ie finished recruitment this year), thus, I don't really want to step on any toes.
Basically, after being on campus for two years, living in is a HUGE deal at IU. A lot of the chapters do require sisters to live in for all four years, and even if you have a house that houses 80+ girls, you can only bring in the number of seniors you are losing. Also, there's really no land for new Greek housing at IU (minus a pretty tiny field next to Delts, and the field where the old SAE house used to be, but SAE owns that land. Sad, because a perfectly good house could be built there, but SAE and their <40 members still owns the land). Sigma Kappa used to have the Pi Kapps house, I think, but they closed almost 10 years ago.
In terms of recruitment, it's cutthroat, and if you don't go through as a freshman, things are pretty grim. I personally know sophomores that got into houses, but the vast majority of them were transfers or knew many members of a specific house.
Also, those of you that know anything about greek life at IU will recognize my chapter and put the pieces together. I really appreciate the things that are being said, and if anyone has any questions about the current state of the chapter, feel free to get in touch with me. If anything, our chapter is really a testament to what sisterhood is all about, and how gossip can truly hurt a chapter.
