So to the person who was asking if all 21 sororities can keep busy: since there are 2+ fraternities for every sorority at Penn State - you do the math!

When I was there, there were 16 NPC sororities and about 50 fraternities - lots of competition to get sororities to agree to have socials with you, do Homecoming, do Greek Week, do THON.

Competition was a Good Thing, for the girls at least -- it meant REAL FOOD if a house had you over for a dinner social (not just a cook-out), mixed drinks (ah, better days) -- and the guys generally went all out for the occassion (dressed up, sent clean cars to transport us over there, etc.)

There was a apocryphal story that the social director for Phi Kappa Theta called one of the sorority social directors and asked her if the girls would be willing to come over for a social the next term. The story was that the sorority social director said "Phi Who?". Supposedly, that's why the fraternity got that nickname. May or may not be true, but with 50+ fraternites, could you blame her?
