No, Florida does not. I attend a "PWI" but make-up of the university is 58% Hispanic and African Americans constitute 13% of the student body, so the IFC/NPC membership is pretty diverse and membership in GLOs reflects the demographics of the school (FIU in case you were wondering).

Nothing is wrong with NPHC sororities. Perhaps some Black girls just feel more at home in an NPC org. And isn't that what fraternities and sororities are all about fundamentally- feeling at home where you are?

Well, the last time I spoke to one of your sisters of the Simga "Pretty" Pi chapter, she informed me that there were 10 active undergraduates and that 2 were seniors. This was around April. Being that the population of NPHC sororities at my school is very small, not much can be done.
But if you must know, we have a cordial relationship with AKAs and were pretty much the only IFC fraternity that wished them a happy founders day on January 15th. The Deltas and Zetas in Miami are a city-wide chapter, so they are barely seen on campus. No SGRhos.
So, you're right, its hard to do any outreach when numbers are low.
