Is the use of the quota system for sororities only? I heard of it at the U of Vermont when I attended there 1958-1962. I joined the re-chartered Phi Mu Delta chapter and there were only 10 members then. During my tenure there at the university, we were fortunate if we had a total membership of 30. There were times at rush when we got only 1 new pledge. There was a sorority that appears not to have achieved their quota and was told by the then Dean of Women that they had to close their chapter. I never saw any fraternity close.

The quota system is exclusive to the National Panhellenic Council agreements.

The North American Interfraternity Council, the National Pan-Hellenic Council, the National APIDA Panhellenic Association, and the National Multicultural Greek Council members do not have agreements on quota or chapter totals.
