Well I had never heard of missouri state until this thread much less their greek system so I doubt they have "the most greek chapters in the southwest region" unless the "southwest region" refers to southwestern missouri.

To reply to the previous thread, Im not just refering to multicultural sororities or franternities on MSU campus. I mean the perception of greek life on other colleges and universities as compared to MSU. It is my personal experience and observation as to the dynamic of greek life here.
And to the last post to clarify, it is the southwestern region. We are in the buckle of the bible belt, not very many surrounding universities even allow greek chapters on their campuses. I know for sure that we have the highest multicultural greek population in the region.

But when you say "southwestern region" and leave out "of Missouri," I'm betting most people had a moment of trying to figure out what Missouri State is doing in Arizona or New Mexico.

I'm from MO, and it took me a while to figure out she meant SW region of MO only. Springfield is (I believe) less than 3 hours from Fayetteville AR, and within 4 of Stillwater OK, Columbia MO and Lawrence KS. So it's not crazy isolated within it's 'region', but I guess if the region is SWMO only, then sure. But then there is also only one largish system in Central MO, one in NE MO, one in NW MO, one in SE MO...

 Yep ... now for your Missouri geography lesson for the day as it relates to the university system:
Central MO - University of Central Missouri (formerly Central Missouri State University) in Warrensberg, MO
NE MO - Truman State University (formerly Northeast Missouri State University, changed name to become more "selective", e.i. "we're going to charge more for tuition") in Kirksville, MO
NW MO - Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, MO
SW MO - The OP's school, Missouri State University (formerly Southwest Missouri State University, changed their name to sound as big as Mizzou, but they aren't) in Springfield, MO
SE MO - Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, MO
Univeristy of Missouri (Mizzou) in Columbia, MO is a Big 12 school and probably the largest university in the state with regards to students and a Greek system.

I also forgot Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph which was a "State College" until they changed their name what, 2 or 3 years ago?

You mean the Missouri University of Science and Technology, right?
ETA - I think the bottom line here is that the state of MO is not devoid of greek systems, nor is the area immediately surrounding Springfield. I guess I don't have anything else to add to the rest of the OP.

here is your homework: http://www.missouristate.edu/activities/GreekLife.htm
and from your first posting, you said that you were banned and leaving.
http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...&postcount=513
why the change of mind and the return?
and just which one of those four houses are you a member of over in UT?
