While the University of Iowa has been bad for sororities (Alpha Gamma Delta, Sigma Delta Tau & Sigma Kappa all closed during the past decade), it has been an absolute disaster for fraternities. Twelve fraternities have closed chapters during the past decade. At least half were among the oldest and strongest groups on campus. Beta, Phi Delt & Phi Gam have managed to revive as colonies but even they are much weaker today than a decade ago. But Iowa is not the only Big Ten school with this problem. Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State have very similar circumstances. I asked on another thread some time ago why Indiana and Purdue have such healthy systems compared to these schools. Is it because of the University's policy alone, or are other things driving it? Seems to me the make-up of students in Indiana is not much different than the schools with weak systems. Any thoughts?
