Chi O Houses Across the Country

[Cardinal026]

I couldn't find an answer of exactly how many chapters have houses. I thought I was bored enough to go through chapter sites and look it up, but I gave up after discovering that 48 do...out of 170 chapters though, I know there are a lot more!

I don't think it really has anything to do with the size of the campus, more of what the university will allow, and what there is space/funding for. My chapter is at a huge school, there are over 30,000 students now, but greek life is relatively new (Chi Omega was the first national sorority on campus, in 1970) and for us its more a matter of university support - they don't think we're really serious. And in their defense, when it comes to a house, we're not. For the last two years, they've extended the offer of a greek floor to all the chapters if they could commit 30 girls, and only one sorority has been able to do that. Its sad, but it is most likely in our future...just not sure how far away!
