FIU
Well FIU is a growing university, and along with that, so is the Greek community.
Currently there are 35 GLOs on campus (don't be guided by our Greek Life website because it is outdated), but our IFC is expanding tremendously in the coming years, adding AEPi along with another group this year and next year 1 (or maybe 2) more.
Panhell just expanded last year and added Sigma Kappa. There are 7 NPC chapters at FIU. I don't know of the possibilities for future PC expansion, but each year about 400-500 girls go through rush.
Our greek community only has about 1500 people, which is nothing compared to UF or FSU as you stated, but it is steadily growing and I foresee much growth in the next few years in all councils (IFC, PC, MGC, and NPHC).
As far as housing goes, only 2 fraternities have on-campus housing with the possibility of another building a house within a year. Sororities don't have housing nor suites (like UM does), but as more dorms are built suites may be an option as chapters continue to grow.
The biggest problem with Greek housing right now is that FIU is still mostly commuter, and most Greeks live off campus or back home with their parents.
FAU, on the other hand, has much smaller greek life. I know they added ADPi to their PC which brings their amount of NPC chapters to 4, and as far as fraternities go, there are only 6 in their IFC and 7 in other councils. They're Greek life is a lot smaller than FIU's but apparently its growing too.
