True. Example: my school has 6 NPC sororities and 17 IFC fraternities.

Georgia Tech has a whopping 30 IFC fraternities and only 6 NPC sororities. Quota was close to 50 last year, and average IFC chapter size is roughly 60 or so. (If anyone knows better, feel free to correct me... these are just rough numbers.)

I'm not correcting you, but it's worth noting that Georgia Tech's male to female ration is atypical for anything other than an engineering school: it's about 70% male. So, you still have more IFC groups than you might expect it things were proportional, but not as much as it might first appear.

And in case any female PNM's are thinking that you'd like that scene remember: the odds are good, but the goods are odd.

Maybe so, but I like the odd goods I got

ROTFL! I remember commenting on the great odds to a sweet Georgia Tech Indian girl we know here and she said in all seriousness,"But you can't really count over a third of those guys."

It had the same effect on me when I heard it from the mom of a girl who goes there.

Seriously, there are fantastic people at Georgia Tech; I'd even go with saying the vast majority of people that I've met who went/go to Tech are exceptionally witty and as socially well adjusted and as cute as you'll find at any campus.

But when someone from Tech identifies somebody else as weird or geeky, know that we're talking the characters from Lambda Lambda Lambda in Revenge of the Nerds in real life here.

What you have to understand about Tech is that the really weird and creepy people, you're never going to see and interact with socially anyway. So you really don't have to worry about them. They don't come out except to go to class and labs.

That's the impression I've gotten from the people I know who've gone there. You work really hard academically, but the shared intensity builds some life-long friendships. And the people in the Greek system are very social and normal.

I didn't seriously intend my post to warn anyone away from Tech.

In the interests of message board harmony, I'm just going to let that one go.

I'm sorry. I was just trying to kid.

So once again, here comes the rub!

NIC Greeks will expand if there is a need found.

NPC Greeks will not expand even if there is a need to expand to cover the existing Chapters instead.

Why do people think there are new GLOs croping up as locals or going to Multi, Latino, Asian, GLOs, ETAL ? Dar.

Not all men or women will feel comfortable with the existing GLOs on campus!

They are looking for something new to place the hat on their heads!

Help pull the heads out of the sands and expand.

If we as Greeks do not grow, we dwindle and die.

Hold up here.

Puddintane's school's situation was one thing - all the chapters were at total. Not only that, it was 15 years ago when Greek life was booming.

The situation the OP has described - we can't assume it's the same. I looked for sites for the Nicholls State groups, but couldn't find anything. We don't know if they're all at total, or if ANY of them are at total. We don't know if the women who "want something different" have actually bothered to go through rush and see what's there to begin with.

Tom, you've said over and over again how sororities at your campus closed. Part of the reason was probably because they expanded when they shouldn't have.

I was an engineering student, and I remember brining some sorority sisters to an engineering party. Hilarity ensued.

I laughed. The same can be applied to the husband's Alma Mater. He's an enginerd and I love him, but dang some of the people who attended his school were Weird.

You should try just a little better. Even I found it offensive.
