I know absolutely nothing about Syracuse. But, even with the recent increase in Greek life interest, wouldn't those statistics be red flags to an NPC expansion committee?

It would to me! I'd want to see at least two years of everyone being within 5 members from Total before I'd say Syracuse is prepared for expansion. If they really wanted to expand, wouldn't they have kept Total a bit lower for now?

The Pi Beta Phi website is reporting 61 pledges for their new colony at New York University.

Newspaper article talks about the growth in number of pnms for existing GLOs.
Reports 102 women pledged, but doesn't give specific numbers for the 3 sororities.

She's talking about the Alpha chapter of her sorority. I think her point was that Alpha Gams would like for the climate to improve enough for them to return.
