Schools with most inactive NPC chapters

One person's opinion from one group does not make it fact.

Oh come on -- most of the Foundation leaders (certainly of the groups with the largest/oldest Foundations) have been Fraternity leaders and are not far removed from what is going on.

As usual, I find oldu's thread interesting and value his input in this forum.

He's taking one quote from one unknown unnamed person as gospel to be applied to all 26 groups. Mine own school is on that list, and what it would take to recolonize would be minimal...

Yes yes yes, we know you love oldu. I would tell you two to get a room, but.....

Are you suggesting that the reason that those closed chapters don't re-open is due to the risk in investing in them?

There are so many other factors that could be taken into consideration beyond cost. Campus climate - support for greeks, risk management issues, culture of the campus to be welcoming of a new group, etc.

Where'd you go? Pitt?

Ohio University is on the list, and I have to say that greek life is on the decline there (pledge classes are down to 25ish members each). And even when I was in school (back in the days of 50-member new member classes and adding new sororities) it wasn't the end all be all to be greek. I think SMU (which is not on the list) has a more important greek life- it's more important to be greek there than OU.

Yes, she went to Pitt. To say that the expense/effort to recolonize at Pitt is the same as it would be at LSU or even Ohio State is laughable. And she's right - ONE quote from ONE person from ONE sorority certainly doesn't apply to all groups, or even to the majority of their own group. (Stop laughing Sandy, I know you are.)

LA - I don't know exactly what he's intimating but I do know if I was an A Xi D I'd be kind of pissed.

The next thread will be "colonies that never chartered at schools that have a wild animal as a mascot." In all seriousness - we've been here before - I think a lot of people appreciate oldu's stats, but the commentary, not so much.

It just bothers me that some of you swarm to oldu's threads to pick apart and criticize. It's like his connections, experience, longevity, and perspectives are not as worthy as your 10,000+ posts on Greek Chat.

I know! That's why I was asking him if that was what he thought. (that it was just cost and risk)
