What she said!! People are often surprised to find out how old the greek system is on some of the land grant universities of the old Big 8. Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State have many single letter chapters that have been in continuous existence and are still thriving today. For instance, Kappa Delta, often regarded as a "deep south sorority" has Nu chapter at Oklahoma State and Pi chapter at the University of Nebraska.
I can't imagine the difficulty of an unhoused chapter competing with housed chapters in Lincoln--the houses there are big and beautiful, and the expectation is that everyone lives in for three years. My hat is off to the women of ADPi for their efforts. I wish them well, and hope they have a great recruitment!
