Bit of hijack but just wanted to say I am a member of an IG at GWU currently we have 12 or so fraternities, and 8 sororities. A couple frats are pretty dead however here is a Pike colony and our IG are recognized on campus. The greek community just had its largest rush numbers ever with largest number of pledges ever. Our school has around 10k people with 15% being in the greek community.

thanks

I wish you well. Phi Kappa Psi was at GWU from 1868 until 1899. When we rechartered in 1990, there were no living alumni, so it was like starting from scratch. Anyway, I remember that year after year they struggled to keep their numbers in the 30s. The chapter alumni, although young, stayed involved and helped to keep the chapter moving forward, and slowly upward. I'm sure that you know that Phi Psi got strong enough to be only one of three fraternities to get a townhouse at the new greek row at GWU.

What I'm getting at is that things will get better, then things will seem hopeless, then get better again, and so on. You have to stick in there, and most importantly, all of you have to become quality alumni. If you do that, your group will become more successful than you can imagine. Keep moving on and up!

Yeah I met a few Phi Psis at Kappa Kickball this year, I heard through the grapevine that they may be losing their house on townhouse row due to a low number of pledges but that could be just gossip. Yeah the townhouses are pretty nice except for UPD walk-throughs I know a couple people have gotten nailed for drinking, we have "old greek row" a few blocks away where Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha, Teke, and Delta Tau Delta have houses that they own rather than the university owned housing. The Greek community is quite strong though finally despite some admin. being anti-greek.

That is a rumor. Chapter is size is more than triple capacity.

ASU desperately needs fraternity expansion....and HOUSING. The university is constantly kicking houses off and there are a ridiculous number of boarded up houses!!!

My bad, anyways whats nice is that we haven't been off-campus all that long relatively so we have strong alumni chapters in the area so we have plenty of help.
