Another school to watch will be East Carolina after two years of record breaking numbers. The only drawback at ECU is finding viable housing.

This statement can be applied to many schools on this list!

I think that could be overcome if a group bought a couple houses near campus, tore them down and built from scratch. It would be pricey but could work.

Wasn't East Carolina a campus where all the houses looked alike and were all built at the same time? Or did they move away from that after either the turn of the millennium or some weather disaster?

Never been to either campus, so you may have me there. What is the difference between sorority housing at each school?

Not to be silly, but at Elon all of the little houses look the same (similar)! The ECU houses are quite different.

Re Elon: The houses that were built in the early/mid 1990s look exactly the same and inside the houses are gorgeous: Hard word floors, spiral staircases, columns, etc. The houses that were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s look a little more doorm-ish: Linoleum, more suite-style. Luckily each organization gets to paint and decorate as they wish.
Each housing style has their pluses and minuses. The houses at ECU are each different.

No this wasn't ECU. Most sororities all came to campus at the same time but the houses looked quite different!

The biggest problem is the city rezoning homes for new groups. They like to make it more difficult than it needs to be.

Is retention an issue at ECU? With quota in the 70s, total of 154 seems low.

I don't think so? It could be for some chapters? From what I can see on here groups took anywhere from 59-72. From what I can tell the total of 154 is fairly recent as well. The system is just growing so fast there I think they are working hard to figure out what total needs to be. At least one chapter is well above that at 182.
