From the chapter end: I think most chapters would love to see the bid rate be higher, but at the same time, IU really equates sorority life with living in the house. In addition, we love knowing almost every girl in the house and being very close with our PC's. I know with my house, our nationals are pushing us to get bigger and bigger and bigger, and it's very frustrating. We obviously are willing to expand, but at the same time, it eventually becomes logistically and physically impossible to get much bigger. When you're limited by the boundaries of the chapter house for things like chapter, you can only fit x number of girls into your dining room/chapter room. How then do you choose which girls get to go to chapter? It feels like herding cats! I think some of the smaller chapters also are more elitist. Delta Delta Delta, for example, is one of (if not THE) smallest chapter, but they're also in most girls' top 5 when they initially form opinions. We're willing to give some, but we don't want to be SEC big.

My own opinion: Something has got to give eventually. The way we do things now is dysfunctional and leads to so many girls hating the greek system. At the same time, adding non-housed chapters isn't the best option either since girls are going "hmmm, 19 houses versus 2 unhoused? I want the real sorority experience...I'm only going to look at the traditional 19." I think a compromise by removing the senior live-in requirement would be a good start...although girls will hate it since housing is so limited. But by senior year, most girls want out of the chapter house.
Where do non-Greeks generally live?
