I don't think cuts are necessarily a problem. . . I think more harm than good is done when people are overly eager for 100% of PNMs to join a fraternity or sorority. At the very least we know some level of selectivity is taking place (whether that's superficial or not depends on the organizations)
As for more sororities, there are a couple challenges. NPC sororities are slow to grow - each extension of the sorority is a major financial investment. At a place like UARK, it seems as if there is a demand that NPC sororities acquire housing (to be "competitive")
I've written about it before, but I do think that the sorority world might benefit from a little more openness in terms of letting women create groups. It might create an alternative standard, which can be confusing, but it's a real shame that 10 fantastic women who didn't find the right fit and want to create their own social/literary club would never qualify as a sorority simply because the NPC is a tough club to become a part of.
In any case, I think that UARK has been working to address their crowding issue for a while. 300-person chapters are great for revenue, but there is a point of diminishing returns after 150 or so people in an organization.
