Smallest percentage of charters active?

Somehow I doubt they only ever closed 7 (if so, that would be amazing!), in this case (and a few others) my information is incomplete / not very reliable.

this. Not done yet, but time to get some sleep!

Hey, thanks for the time and effort you're putting into what you're doing!

Seconded! I love this kind of info and am super happy you're collating it

Yep, especially when it reopens and then goes dormant again.

Kind of regretting asking my question...I didn't mean to turn this into an NPC thread. I figured the least amount closed would be a NPHC

If you are compiling stats for all over the place, it would be nice to cite your source each time.

It's an estimation. I'm sure she's reviewing multiple sources and trying to make the numbers as accurate as possible. This isn't a dissertation she's writing. It's Greekchat.

I'm sure if anyone has corrections, they'll let her know (like everyone does for Irishpipes in her annual list of all the NPC chapters).

I also think it's more like 159 chapters open.

But our NPHC GC'ers who posted were all "yeah, I'm not feeling figuring that out," so those of us posting go with what we know. Just because we're talking NPC, it doesn't mean that we're not interested in hearing from other councils. I'd be interested in hearing about all the councils.

It might be Phi Mu...I know we had to close a lot of chapters in order to join the NPC, because many were at non-four-year institutions and the like.

I know the Alpha Phi number is wrong because my chapter was #175, and that was back in 1990. I also think the current number active is 159. Just quickly singing the Greek alphabet, I'm estimating around 50 closed chapters for us.

This link below might help a little bit with AST. It's from 2005, but it will give you a list of the active/inactive chapters at that point. I think the only inactive chapter that's been re-installed is Iota (Emporia State University in Kansas).

Of course, other chapters may have been opened/closed in addition to those listed. I can't look through this right now, but I figured this would help if you got to it before I did.

You're awesome for tackling this! DG's is 146/190 (source is our chapter list of every DG chapter ever in our forum).

I'm using the national website for each NPC, combined with wikipedia and IrishPipes' amazing list. This is still a rough estimate for every group unless I get the actual number from a person in-the know!

You're welcome!

I tried to find out the NHPC numbers as well, but there's little information on dormant chapters, and since in the NHPC membership is organized differently, as in through graduate chapters as well, it would be comparing apples to oranges. But if anyone has the numbers please do tell, would be great to see those too!

Just thought I'd add some information! For ADPi, we have 209 chapters and 146 are active. With the (re)colonizations this Fall of Ole Miss, Tulane and Westchester University of Pennsylvania we will have 149 active and 210 total. Penn would make it 150 and 211 in the spring.
