Yay for a Purdue thread!! I have advised there the last two years and will really miss helping out this year. Two friends are still advisors so I'll try to get some info for everyone. I lived next door to the Chi Omega house and could always hear their chanting during rounds.

Maybe she was including the fraternity houses that were on campus, too? Those are part of Greek Life, as well. No idea though.

No, there are way more fraternities than that. My understanding is that Cornell is the largest fraternity system, and Illinois is the largest sorority system, both measured by number of members.

[kathykd2005]

I was just giving her the benefit of the doubt--remember, this was the 90s, and the Greek system might have been smaller then. Again, no idea, though.

[kathykd2005]

Whoa. I just read the Cornell website and there are 45 fraternities there.

Cornell also has a number of Greek-esque cooperative living houses, some of which are coed. But none of them would have had anything like 300 members.
