This. As someone who would also rather see 6 chapters of 40 than 3 chapters of 70, I'm with PKTsaluki on that score. The thing is, the sororities HAVE TO VOTE TO DECREASE TOTAL. If their nationals aren't letting them do that (and this does happen occasionally) that isn't Panhellenic's fault. If there are sororities with big houses to maintain who don't want to lower total that also isn't Panhellenic's fault.
I know what vp is saying about having sororities that aren't NPC, but what happens in this situation is the "service" or "professional" sorority turns into a social sorority that occasionally does service and gets around the alcohol rules of NPCs. Then Panhel gets pissed and the bad blood gets even worse. It's not a good idea to promote establishment of something other than a social group if what people truly want is a social group.

I won't say that just because a colony fails doesn't mean there is no room for a new Greek group. That is nothing against the above group, just a general statement. Sometimes the "fit" that seemed great to Panhel members doesn't come across to the campus at large. It happens.
And regardless of whether the school is "toxic" it was very unprofessional of the NPC rep to put it that way. "The system has some challenges it needs to address" would have been a little better.
My school is finally getting its head out of its ass and inviting back some of the fraternity chapters that were closed for bogus reasons. However, there's NO WAY IN HELL I think they're ready for any of the sororities to come back. Different things are different.
