The size of the system and the size of quota reminds me of University of Illinois. Illinois has 19 sororities and, IIRC, quota roughly aroudn 50-60.

Wow. That is 61 and if all 14 groups bid quota that would be 854 girls and 300 girls cut or dropped completely out. 74% placement rate. Not a positive trend.

I guess I disagree completely with this. Illinois has 19 NPCs, Texas has only 14, which is small for the size school. Texas needs more sororities, but the system is elitist and unfriendly to change. The system at Illinois is the total opposite - very Midwestern in feel and not terribly competitive.

No, looks like their last photo post was pref. I'm in the Austin area, so I got the numbers info from the local alum association.

I thought they had 18?
If it's only 14, then you are right. Those are terrible numbers for a school that size.

Isn't this somewhat similar to Ole Miss and Arkansas where it is VERY difficult for a new chapter to colonize? While I don't think these schools are necessarily unfriendly to change, some families would never hear of their DD pledging a new sorority at their alma mater.

I think a lot of it has to do with Austin being a cool city in its own right. I don't think NPC groups, on the whole, do a good job of marketing ourselves beyond something fun to do in college. If you can have fun without joining, why join?
