What is Total for your GLO's?

[ztabchbum]

Here's some more info for you:

Name of the School: Stetson University
Approx. Student population: 2000-2500
Number of GLO’s: 6 sororities, 7 fraternities
Total: for the sororities it's 60, I'm not sure what it is for the fraternities but it's close to that number, but not more I don't think.

Name of the School: University of North Texas
Approximate Student Population: 32000
Number of GLO's: 6 NPC, 7 IFC, + NPHC & MCGLOs
NPC Total: 75

ETA: Our school is a MAJOR commuter school, and has an anti-greek sentiment to a certain extent (I believe this is largely because of the way the school newspaper portrays greeks, but that's an entirely different post!). Our Panhellenic Council is hoping that recruitment numbers will begin to increase because we are all excited about the new Sorority Row that will be finished being built by this August just in time for recruitment!

Name of School: Jacksonville State University
Approximate Number of Students: 9,000
Number of NPC's: 5
Total: 65

I don't have percentages or anything, but I can say that Greek life and other student organizations are not very popular here. We have a very apathetic campus.

NPC chapters: 12 + 1 other (Phi Beta Chi); NIC chapters: 27; NPHC chapters: 7
Total student population: 23,000
NPC total: 92 (has been for years)
NIC total: none set--chapters range from 90+ to 20
Quota (2003): 20

There are probably 8-9 chapters that are at total or are very close, 3-2 that are under by 10-12 and 1-2 that are under 65 members. We've recently lost one sorority and are on the verge of losing another fraternity. Recruitment numbers have steadily been declining since I graduated, which has quite a few people worried. I don't know how affective the new Greek Advisor is; from my understanding she wasn't Greek in school (which isn't a requirement, but it certainly helps). And the increase in off-campus and apartment living combined with budget cuts and changing administration attitudes is seriously affecting the Greek Community.

I thought there were 13 NPC sororities, and then I thought maybe I can't count. So I listed all of em: Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Omicron Pi, Chi Omega, Kappa Delta, Alpha Gamma Delta

And the current Greek Adviser is both an ISU and Greek alumna. I agree that the increase in other housing options, budget cuts and the admin attitude isn't really helping. The number of women going through formal is dropping drastically, I have the numbers at home, but it's been something like a 20% decline in the past 2 -3 years. Hopefully the Greek Alumni Alliance that has been established will be able to help in some way. BTW, the VP of the organization is a Kappa alum!

[tinytigress]

Name of School: College of William & Mary (Williamsburg, VA)
Student Population: 5,000
Percent of students in Greek system: around 25%
NPC sororities: 10
NIC fraternities: between 13-15 (that's a whole other conversation right there)
Sorority House Total: 95
Quota (2003): 23

8 of the sororities hover right around 95 - only five members separate the largest from the eighth largest. The other two sororites have about 60 or 70 girls - their numbers fluctuate more, because they COB large classes on a regular basis, while the rest usually only have spots to COB one or two.

I had no idea that total was so wildly different from the actual membership within the organizations at most schools. We've been arguing recently over whether or not to raise total - the four consistently largest sororities want to, the two smaller sororities don't want to, and the rest of the sororities recognize that they could easily fall into either category after either a couple good years or a couple bad years. So instead, we make up new formulas for setting quotas and release figures every year. Because it wasn't complicated enough.

Name of the School: Hillsdale College
Approx. Student population: 1,200-ish
Number of GLO’s:
- Four NPC groups (will drop to three next year)
- Three IFC fraternities
(we're a little school!)

Total: Well, for some reason, we call it "cap", but it's 80 for the girls.... I don't believe the guys have a total, but perhaps they do. Although we are losing one of our houses at the end of this year, they are not raising cap. We and another group are very near cap, and house #3 is not far behind.

You are correct. I mistyped. I'm a little out of the loop on campus affairs now that I'm 100 miles away, I heard from someone--who I should know better than to hold as accountable--that the GA wasn't Greek but since I entered that info last fall I've heard she's doing a great job. When I was on Panhel the number of girls going through recruitment was just over 400, it's declined anywhere from 40-50 girls per year since then. Is it Chelon? I know she's been really involved in campus and Greek affairs lately.

[DolphinChicaDDD]

Name of the School: The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey

Approx. Student population: 6,883 full- and part-time students

Number of GLO’s: between 18-22
NPC- 5:
National Fraternities (there is no IFC on campus)- 6; there is 7 if you count an org who got kicked off awhile ago, but still manage to have healthy numbers)
Minority/NPHC: 9, or 10, or 8. Honestly, we lose and gain them like nothing.

Total: no one has total besides NPC, we are at 55. i'm gonna estimate the frats have between 25-35 people; all the minority/nphc have 5 or less (and only phi beta sigma is at 5)

Sometimes I feel like I'm outta the loop and I'm on the AB for my house and only live in WDM. I think she (GA) has been doing a lot better job, and I think part of the problem might have been the need for more support, plus I think this might be her first job as GA Coordinator (though I'm not sure), whereas Brian T. had been in charge of how many others? I remember those numbers going thru a few years ago. Hopefully things will turn around in the fall. It is Chelon and I think she's been so proactive about things, it's great.
BTW, I think I read somewhere that you advise at Iowa now, just curious but how many women typically go thru formal there?

Chelon is wonderful.

I think about 600 girls went through recruitment last year at Iowa (I'm not positive, though). Quota was 30 or 31 and Total is 120. The campus atmosphere is very different than at Iowa State and the girls going through recruitment tend to be from the Chicago/Milwaukee/Minneapolis area than from a town in Iowa.

Hmmm. That number for total is way off from what I've been told. My understanding was that total was 105, but that we had grown past that number ages ago. (The average NPC chapter size at UCF is 151.)

Maybe I'm misinformed, though.

Chapter Total at UCF is 110. A ZTAngel and Sherbertlemons said, most of our chapters are 40+ over this number. I've had friends from other schools look through my Bid Day photos and exclaim, "Your new member class is larger than my entire chapter!"
