Until we get another Baird's published, I guess Oldu will just have to do. But again, I am bit of a history buff and find it rather interesting from that perspective. I guess is a bit of a viewpoint of his intentions.

I find it interesting too, but it seems to have a kind of un-panhellenic subtext occasionally. I'm not sure that Oldu intends that or if people sensitive to that read it in.

I don't think there's any harm in publishing it. I'm happy I joined the group I did and stats that don't put us on top don't really affect that. There are some NPC brands that seem more elite to most people; don't we all know that? It doesn't reflect on the sisterhood available elsewhere really, does it?

I also seriously doubt that PNMs evaluate the group they want to join based on these types of criteria, unless they are looking for some way to break an impossible tie in their own feelings.

If it were just straight up statistics, I don't think most people would have a problem. It's when he makes assumptions and opinions based upon those statistics that make him lose credibility and respect.

The stats from the past are interesting, but I think of most of the campuses listed above as having reached maturity as far as the number of chapters they will ever have at one particular time. And some of them are clearly affected by population shifts south and west.

What about growth in the modern era (say since 1985?) What campuses have grown from one or two NPC chapters to say, eight or more?
