Just curious...where are the other two schools with 20+ chapters. I know Indiana is one of them. Illinois used to be 20+, aren't they at 18 or 19 now?

Yep - the only ones that ever flirt with 20 or have had 20 at some point fairly recently are Illinois (currently 18 plus one colony in the fall), Indiana (currently 21 plus a colony next year), and Penn State (currently 19).

The chapter membership totals might put Alabama or Oklahoma ahead of these schools, but in terms of number of chapters, these 3 always lead the pack.

After formal recruitment in January, Indiana might come close to those schools' totals. Even the smallest chapter is around 150 while the largest goes up to 250+. Most are between 180 and 210.

For the record - Alabama has 18 Panhellenic chapters - current total is 285. They were looking at expansion still. Georgia and Auburn each have 17 NPC groups.

ETA- ADX is not a member of NPC but of the CPC

So Delta Phi Epsilon is colonizing as the 18th Alabama group?!?

No, there are 18 groups but Sigma Delta Tau does not recruit with all the others. So during recruitment there are 17 groups participating.

Does ADX do formal recruitment? Do they have a chapter house?

I thought Bama had 17. Alpha Delta Chi is not NPC and don't they have an NPC that doesn't go through formal recruitment and is bit smaller than the other chapters by choice?
