Number of sororities/fraternities

[KayDeeCareBear]

Heya, I was wondering how many sororities and fraternities people have on their campus. We have 4 and 4. Is that a small number? I know we were trying to get another Sorority, But we don't have 50 in all the other ones, so we can't.

[ilovemyglo]

We have seven sororities and eleven fraternities although Kappa Sig is trying to recolonize. Only one sorority is at total, and the rest range from 45 openings to 5 openings. Our chapter total here is 95, and the one chapter at total has 101. There is also Ceres sorority (Farmhouse's sister sorority) they are National, but not NPC.

I have noticed that on most campuses, there are less sororities than fraternities...Why is that?!?!

Anyway, at my alma mater, there were 10 NIC fraternities and 6 NPC sororities...3 NPHC sororities, 3 NPHC fraternities...

University of Michigan Greek System

IFC = 30 Fraternities
Panhel = 16 sororities
BGA= 4 sororities, 5 fraternities
Latino/Latina= 2 sororities 1 Frat (all in IFC now)
Indian = 1 and 1
Asian - 1 and 1
Multicultural = 1 sorority

Plus we have so many underground frats, that i dont know how many.

that could be because there are 66 fraternities in the NIC, while the NPC only have 26 sororities.

On the Long Beach Campus, we have one fraternity and thats Phi Kappa Tau, the rest are sororities sorry I couldn't resist, now seriously we have eight fraternities, and seven sororities. The NPC has 3 fraternities, and 2 sororities, so a total of 11 fraternities, and 9 sororities.

KBear, I guess it depends on the size of the school and if they will support more Greek Orgs. Some small schools have a larger % of Greeks. Pittsburg St U Ks has the 4 th largeest enrollment in the state but only have 6 Fraternitys and 3 Soroitys. ADP and KD have left along with a local who had a chance to go with Phi Mu. It is a shame as the Greeks do most of the work on campus. I am sure though that if a group is strong enough and the school is willing, there is an Org who would take a good look. We must always look to expand the Greek System as we are the BEST!

I think because sororities and NPC are more rigid in trying to keep the groups at the same size (through using quota/total, etc), whereas fraternities can range from 20-100 and IFC doesn't seem a crap. I've seen fraternities with 10 guys that the national was totally fine with it.

Miami University has around 28 fraternities and 24 sororities, I believe that is right

Wish I were a boy sometimes!

There are a lot of people at our school, and it's a commuter school, which is probably why we never reach total. KD usually has the second most, but after this year we're going to have 17/50. We're hoping for a nice rush, but it doesn't look too good right now. Since we don't have houses, rush is held in rooms in the Student Center... and, well, we get the smallest room because we have the fewest girls. It's in the basement with the roaches and mice! UGH!

Looking on the bright side though, With so few Greek groups, Greek Week goes relatively smoothly!

I got to a rather small school with only about 1500 students, we have I think 8 fraternities, and I think maybe 6 sororities, Im not sure though.

I went to a small school. There were:

• Local Sororities: 3
• Local Fratenernities: 3 (plus one more that lost its charter several years before I got there, but still seemed to have a few new members every year)
• National PFA groups: 2
• National Service sorority (I don't know what, if any, council): 1
• National Service Fratenrity: 1
• There were also a number of honorary groups, I don't know how many

At our fantastic state school in PA (Bloomsburg) we have:

5 NPC Sororities
5 Local Sororities

5 National Fraternities
3 Local Fraternties
a bazillion unrecognized fraternties

1 NPHC Fraternity, although Omega Psi Phi is there and unrecognized by campus
2 NPHC Sororities

and then there is Alpha Phi Omega, Lambda Sigma Upsilon and Mu Sigma Upsilon, which don't fall under any category.

Dalhousie University:

3 NIC Fraternities (Zeta Psi, Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta)
1 Canadian National Fraternity (Phi Kappa Pi)
1 Medical Fraternity (Phi Chi)
1 NPHC Womans Fraternity (Alpha Gamma Delta)
