IU soroity rush statistics

Not sure how I missed this thread, but I feel like I should chime in since I'm from IU
-Even if TPA's IU chapter is actively seeking true 'Greek' housing as IU sees it, it's not likely they'll find it anytime soon. IU's administration is vehemently against using any more land for Greek houses. It's been that way for a long time, and it will continue to be that way for a long time. Unfortunately, it's just how things are
-I don't have the exact numbers, but I do know that TPA's retention wasn't necessarily the best. While they took a PC of 65+, I believe they initiated less than 50. That's not particularly surprising given that they're relatively new and unhoused, but I'd be interested to see if this continues this year.

I wouldn't necessarily proclaim that the campus culture is different just yet. IU is still very entrenched in the 'live in all possible years' mentality, and it will take a lot (more than just 2 unhoused chapters and an unhappy NPC) to break that at many of the chapters.

I'm actually not exactly sure what type of housing they are seeking, it could be something off campus. As far as the bolded, not true at all. I know they took a pledge class of 55-56 during formal recruitment and I'm not sure of the exact number of initiates, but according to official reports from HQ the chapter enjoys well over 90% retention rate, and the chapter has done nothing but exceed our expectations at every turn. We are super proud of our IU sisters, and they tell us that the IU greek community has been nothing but supportive of them

They initiated 60 women, which means they most likely took more than that as a pledge class. You always get a few drops when you have larger PCs. In addition, they initiated 5 women this fall following COB. I won't pin a retention rate on an exact %, but I would lean more towards ~85% than >90%. When you're looking at retention rates >95% at most chapters, that's something to keep an eye on over time. I'm happy that they're finding success, and I'd love for them to get that number up and keep their amazing women!

Thank you for your support, I'm glad we found such a great greek community to be a part of. Though it has been reported that our retention is much higher than you claim and that we are well on track for success at IU. Additionally, we had originally set our own chapter "total" at 100 ,but due to overwhelming interest we increased it. An IU collegian recently told me that the chapter has 130 members right now.
