I attend a large HBCU that put a cap on lines in '97. Even before the cap the lines never got bigger than 50 so I dont really understand having lines of 100+ but that's another story. There can only be 40 to a line. The school has a say so over greek orgs on campus since we are a black school and this is the only greek system on campus. When I went to a white college there were no rules for black greeks but of course the white greeks had rules they had to follow set forth by the school so the situation is similar. The school has a say so over greek orgs on my campus. I heard the cap was put on as a way for organizations be more selective. At first I didn't get it but now I do. Someone asked me, "Would you want to be on line with 300 women?" My answer is no! To have an EXTREMELY large line defeats the whole purpose of bonding and being in a frat/sorority. You don't want just anyone to be able to join. I'm not judging anyone's chapter based on how many people they put on line because every situation is different. However, it concerns me now since there is a legacy clause and only 40 women are allowed on a line. Believe me, it makes it VERY difficult to make line for a non-legacy.
