I just glanced at the grade report #'s you mentioned. F'13 was like you said, roughly 70-80 actives with roughly 60-70 pledges.

Based on how many bids were accepted F'13, if Pi Phi had been taking new sisters the pledge classes may have been ~50 with around 80 active members per house. Now bear with me, if Pi Phi had been involved in recruitment and there had been a 6th house during F'13 recruitment, there could have been ~42 new members per sorority which is approximately the size that the pledge classes were F'11 and F'12.

Obviously these are rough estimates and complete speculation, but I can see the university entertaining the idea of potentially: (1) CYA in case Pi Phi decides not to come back and the number of girls going through recruitment goes back down or (2) reinstating Pi Phi as well as adding a new house if the number of girls going through recruitment stays at around the level of F'13.

Of course I have absolutely no ties to the university and there isn't actually enough data from that grade report to predict whether the level of interest will stay at the higher level that was seen during F'13, but these are my two cents.
