A dissertation on the early years of the NPC would be a great read!

Plus there were 5 chapters not 3. I remember initation for 28 women my senior year. Total went from 65 to 75 in those years.
2. The houses aren't exactly a step of from dorms. The houses are glorified military barracks. They were orginally built as temporary housing and 50 years later are just being torn down.
3. In the past there hasn't been Panhellenic unity. Pick on the smallest. Problem with that is somebody always has to be on the bottom. I really believe a strong unified Panhellenic makes each individual chapter stronger.
4. Chapters have issues with retention and freshman aren't in any hurry to join. It is well known you can usually join anytime with COB because Total hasn't been adjusted well to work with current interest
5. Three of the biggest fraternities have left since 2000 with risk management issues. One will never be allowed back. Several medium and smaller fraternities have fell off.
Thanks, that was very informative!
