Several people have contacted me for a list of the schools which have at least half of the NPC sororities currently on campus:

Illinois, 20 (5 inactive NPC groups & 1 never there)
Penn State, 20 (5 inactive & 1 never there)
Indiana, 19 (5 inactive & 2 never there)
Auburn, 17 (no incative & 9 never there)
Georgia, 17 (2 inactive & 7 never there)
Alabama, 16 (5 inactive & 5 never there)
Florida, 16 (3 inactive & 7 never there)
Miami, 16 (7 inactive & 3 never there)
Purdue, 16 (3 inactive & 7 never there)
Washington, 16 (4 incative & 6 never there)
Florida State, 15 (7 inactive & 4 never there)
Virginia, 16 (4 inactive & 7 never there)
Bowling Green, 14 (2 inactive & 10 never there)
Iowa, 14 (6 inactive & 6 never there)
Maryland, 14 (6 inactive & 6 never there)
Missouri, 14 (8 inactive & 4 never there)
Nebraska, 14 (5 inactive & 7 never there)
Ohio State, 14 (10 inactive & 2 never there)
Texas, 14 (7 inactive & 5 never there)
Washington State, 14 (3 inactive & 9 never there)
Iowa State, 13 (3 inactive & 10 never there)
Kansas, 13 (6 inactive & 7 never there)
Michigan, 13 (10 inactive & 3 never there)
Michigan State, 13 (7 inactive & 6 never there)
Tennessee, 13 (5 inactive & 8 never there)
Virginia Tech, 3 inactive & 10 never there)

It is amazing that every NPC groups that has started a chapter at Auburn is currently active. It could be that there is less pressure on non-housed chapters to maintain numbers expected by the national organization.
The huge number of inactive sororities at Michigan & Ohio State shows how badly the Greek scene has deteriorated at some of the Big Ten schools. There is expansion activity at some of the above schools. Alpha Epsilon Phi has colonies at Michigan & Miami. I believe ZTA is also going to return to Michigan. With the Alpha Phi expansion to Kentucky next year they will also have 13 NPC groups. If there are any others, please advise.

Without naming specific groups, as that somehow sends some of the drama queens into hysteria, the NPC sororities with the smallest number of chapters at the largest Greek systems are those which began life at teachers colleges, or were originally Jewish or Catholic oriented.
