Hi!
I am also an Ohio University alum. And, as the user name implies, I'm a Pi Phi. My youngest daughter is currently a sophomore and a Pi Phi at OU. And my oldest daughter graduated from there in Nov. She is also, you guessed it, a Pi Phi!
Having been involved there "way back when" and also currently, I know a bit about the Greek System at Ohio. I loved being part of it as a collegiate, and each of my daughters has found it to be a great experience and a lot of fun! It is relatively strong-I think about 16% of the campus is Greek. That probably doesn't sound like a very high percentage when compared to some southern schools, but I think it is at least an average number for a midwestern university. The larger sororities on campus have between 130-160 members each. The Pi Phi House houses about 65 woman, and I believe most of the other houses are that large also.
If you go to the OU website that DeltAlum cited and click on "Current Students" followed by a click on "Student Life" you will find yourself at "Greek Life." Once there, you can find the web pages of many, but not all, of the campus' chapters. There is a Phi Mu chapter in Athens and I know that there is a chapter web page. Once there, I'm sure you can access the email address of someone who can answer any questions you might have about affiliating.
Have you ever been to Athens? As per DeltAlum's post, the campus is beautiful and so is southeastern Ohio. I've never met an OU alum who doesn't have fond memories of his or her days in Athens. It's a special place, and I hope you will find it to be so.
If you have any other specific questions about Ohio U. or Greek Life there, please feel free to PM me.
Good Luck, and keep us posted!
