With the amount of women interested in sorority membership at these schools, I think they could very easily each have large chapters of all 26 NPC sororities. Why haven't they increased membership opportunities in that way?
The placement rates at some of the most competitive SEC schools are very high, in the range of 75% or even higher at Auburn & Ole Miss. The number of PNMs who maximize their options, but who are cut from all houses, is tiny, in the low single digits. This suggests that the system is doing a good job of finding a place for qualified PNMs who are willing to take it.

I see a big difference between PNMs dropping out when XYZ cuts them (a problem at competitive campuses nationwide, including Q/T campuses) and PNMs being cut from the system altogether (which happens way more at Indiana than it does elsewhere). Yes, at the end of recruitment the number of women in houses may be the same. But in the first instance, the system has done everything it can to accommodate those women, and in the second, it has not.

My limited experience suggests that Indiana's system creates unusually bitter and anti-Greek independents compared to other Big 10 campuses.
