BigRedBeta, as a Boulder alum, I have to chuckle at your characterization of CU as having a "west coast hippie/surfer vibe". So true! I had never considered that we might be a better fit in the Pac-10, but you might be right about that. Arizona and Arizona State have always been favorite destinations for Coloradans who want to go to school out of state. And of course, many Californians head to Boulder for their college years.
Tom, there are no chapters of LXA, SX, KA, nor BTP at Colorado. I think my brother's GLO, DTD, used to be there many years ago, but no more. The fraternites separated from the University over the question of deferred rush (the sororites decided to play ball, but their numbers have suffered accordingly, although picking up to some degree more recently, I believe.)
IMO the University clamped down after the unfortunate death of the pledge during initiation at the Chi Psi house in 2004. One such incident can have repercussions that last for years, cancelling out the many, many positive contributions of the Greek community there.
