Ladybug12, I think that's why they are doing some non-housed expansion. It's a big risk on the part of the sororities who choose to do it because for all the talk about not needing a chapter house and this provides more girls the opportunities and benefits of membership, etc. etc., there has to be actual girls who will sign on the dotted line.
I think back in the day sorority = house so the thought of being in a sorority and not living in just didn't equate. Now of course that is not true, both for schools without chapter houses and for chapter memberships that far exceed the house capacity. But change comes slow. And the chapter houses at IU are huge. I can completely see them thinking their chapter sizes as currently housed are perfectly big enough. So you can expand by adding more housed chapters, with land being a huge road block, or adding non-housed chapters which goes against 100 years of sorority tradition. I think the non-housed option can succeed with some very painful growing pains in the process. And it's not going to be quick. But I guess time will tell!
