It's funny how much you notice about your GLO when you're NOT in school. I went to school in PA, and there are a ton of AST chapters in the state. But yea, they're not on many large campuses, and they're not spread out across the country as much as other GLOs. I'm not exactly sure as to why that is, though. And I guess I never truly took notice of that fact until I was out of school.

An update:

The Epsilon Xi chapter of Alpha Delta Pi at Northern Arizona University had 20 new members from formal recruitment and then 24 more from COR, bringing the fall 08 alpha class to 44.

Does anyone know if the locals and the NPC chapters have the same "caps" at NYU?

50? Oh my god the highest I've ever heard it being before was 35, I think! That's fabulous! Any idea what total is these days and how everyone did?

This is a huge quota number for U of O- fantastic. After graduating seniors last year, I bet the new member classes are as large as the rest of the chapter for most of the sororities. U of O lost at least 4 sororities between the early 90s and early 00s due to low numbers. It is great to see the remaining houses get this boost.

Also, I believe Kappa Delta closed in 1933 (34?) and recolonized in 1990. I don't remember what they said, but we got to see the composites and I remember that being the gap.

I know absolutely nothing about Syracuse. But, even with the recent increase in Greek life interest, wouldn't those statistics be red flags to an NPC expansion committee?

Oh, duh. Even though OTW is a frequent poster, I don't keep track of a poster's NPC affiliation unless it's evident in her name or signature line. Now both the comment and the wink and smile make more sense. Thanks, irishpipes, for politely connecting the "Syracuse Triad" dots for me.

It was last year. This year 618 girls signed up for recruitment. Last year about 450 applied. The freshman class was huge this year, so big they ran out of housing.
As for total... give me a few days and I'll try to find out.
I heard that Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Delta were either 54 or 56 each, tying for first place. I will work out where everyone else will go. I will also check the validity of those statements. The person was a little drunk from celebrating a good recruitment...

Lol, that tends to happen. Thanks for the info and sorry to barrage you with questions, it's just been a few years since I've heard much about greek life at my alma mater. I hope you're enjoying it there!
