That happened all of the time. I remember when there was a violently anti-greek editor of the yearbook, and he did his best to look like there were no more than 12-15 pictures in ANY sorority. He even left out a few, just for kicks.

Honeychile is right; the Pitt literary community really seemed as a whole to dislike the greeks. When I was a copy editor at the Pitt News, I rarely mentioned my affiliation because I got teased about it. Funny though, how my being greek wasn't a drawback when I was out at the bars with the rest of the editorial staff and they wanted introductions to my hot sisters

Low C Sharp, if I recall, there was a large discrepancy between chapter sizes. Ceiling was 55 at the time and only three or four groups were that big (lol, I know that would be pretty pathetic even for a pledge class in the SEC!). Some groups had membership numbers in the teens. However, the number of women in the group photos doesn't reflect the numbers in the chapters.
