Don't smaller fraternities ever get together for a mixer? In other words (random names) KKG, SAE and TKE could all mix together? Or is the competition between fraternities too strong to allow that?

Fraternities rarely (if ever) combine for mixers with sororities. The most I've ever heard of is 2 fraternities combining to host a concert [example: ZBT and SAM hosting Snoop Dogg].
My boyfriend is in one of those unhoused fraternities, they're on the larger end, but they struggle to pair with sororities. This year is better than years past, but they don't pair outside of 'bottom tier' chapters. Housed chapters tend to pair Thursday/Friday/Saturday, or at least a day or two each week. His chapter is lucky to get paired with once every 2 weeks. They try, but when the frat has 80 guys and the sorority has 120-150 girls, it makes it tough.
On the 'megachurch' aspect, that may have been what IU or Panhel was thinking, but that isn't what active members perceived it to be. I'll be honest, I thought that they would struggle badly because of the 'live in' culture of IU
