I've also said this before, but I'm guessing that if the system did change to T/Q, many of the girls who are in it now would want no part of it. The school is obviously big enough to have chapters the size of those at SEC schools or larger and not everyone wants that experience.

This and this. I know I wouldn't have gone through recruitment if I knew I'd be in an SEC-sized chapter because at the time, it was too intimidating. I liked how the girls all knew each others' names and had a decently strong connection with every member of a chapter. When my chapter started to get really big, that was a huge problem for actives--people really pushed back saying that they didn't want to lose that level of sisterhood/connection with the members of the chapter. I distinctly remember members of my chapter saying "Well, we're not the SEC and we don't want to be that size" after we were pushed to take a large new member class.
Also, the administration hates Greek life and has really cracked down on things in recent years. But that's a whole different story.
