Just so you guys know, I'm more of a lurker, but I am a current IU student and do pop up from time to time :]

Chapters at IU are HUGE. Like IUGreekGirl said, there are bigger chapters that house 100+ girls and have live-outs, and I know several girls in other chapters that honestly do not know everyone in their house. Gamma Phi and AXiD come to mind as two of the bigger chapters in terms of actual numbers of people. Most of the physical houses (with a few exceptions...Tri-Delt comes to mind as one of the smaller houses in terms of square footage) are roughly the same size though. Some are a little bigger and some are a little smaller, but roughly the same size. I'm not sure what you mean by 'sleeping porches,' but if those are the same as cold dorms...then a majority (not all, but probably ~60-75%) of the houses have those.

In terms of what people were talking about with the whole bed v. quota thing...it's a very ingrained idea at IU. As much as it pains me to say it, because I'm definitely not like that, a lot of the greeks at IU are very elitist, which fosters that culture that IUGreekGirl talked about earlier, and because of that, I think a lot of them are very hesitant to opening the greek system up. We don't have the type of competitiveness that say, Texas/'Bama/UF/LSU have, but it's cuthroat. You know the odds going into it, but you do get very emotionally invested in houses that you fall in love with, and that makes it very tough.
