And if you threw a party
Invited everyone in town
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
"Thank you for being a friend"

(Ok, you know it's bad when you know the extended theme song lyrics )

TexGal - since "Panhel" isn't really a word, I have no idea if the proper spelling would be "Panhel" or "Panhell" so I agree with you!

The hyphen, however, does change things. Pan-Hellenic is the governing body for historically African-American sororities. Panhellenic, Panhell, Panhel (no hyphen) is for NPC sororities. Of course there aren't 14 historically African-American sororities so it was obvious what you meant anyway!

IU has 19 of the Panhellenic sororities right now. They had 22 when I went there, but Alpha Sigma Alpha, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Sigma Kappa all closed in 1993-1994. The other chapters not at IU are Delta Phi Epsilon, Phi Sigma Sigma, Theta Phi Alpha, and Alpha Sigma Tau. Like Illinois, IU has had chapters of all of the Panhellenic groups except for AST.

IU also has 25 IFC fraternities, 8 of the Divine Nine NPHC groups (all but AKA, which must have closed recently!), two Latina sororities, a Latino fraternity, an Asian interest fraternity, an Asian interest sorority, and Theta Nu Xi.

I think that "Biggest Greek Schools" could have other meanings too. I would consider DePauw and Miami (Ohio) as MAJOR Greek campuses - not because of the number of chapters, but the historical aspects of their Greek systems and the strong influence of Greek Life. I know less about Syracuse, but possibly it would fall into that category as well.
