I'm sorry but that is one of the flipping stupidest things I have ever heard. You have as many sororities and fraternities on campus as the market will bear. The only time I have heard that a Greek life dept/admin wants x number of groups is when a cap is put on the amount of groups - i.e. when the admin really doesn't want Greek life to get bigger. If that is the case at LUC, then I would hardly say Greek life is on the "upswing."
And if KBG really were pushed out by the administration, I hope every single one of their alums cuts off donations. Although since KBG members have posted about the situation on here and NEVER mentioned that they were getting any kind of pressure from LUC because they weren't an NPC group, I'm kind of thinking that's a bunch of BS.
t*p - The situation at F & M was very very very weird. The groups were not recognized by the school, and at the time KBG started they didn't know if they ever WOULD be. (I think they were "working toward" rerecognition, but stuff like that can take a long time) Some NPCs have rules that they won't colonize a campus where Greeks are unrecognized, therefore they were limited in their options. They could have been an interest group that never got picked up, and I'm guessing that since the other groups on campus were national (colonized before derecognition) they didn't want to be a local. So they went with KBG.
