There's a vast difference adding sororities to a school like UA vs UVA. First of all, a sorority has to want to come on to campus, and they won't do that unless they can be competitive, which means they need to find $15 million to build a house. That involves fundraising and local alumnae support on a huge scale, plus no national sorority can spread itself thin considering they have other chapter houses to build or renovate as well. The chapter houses at UVA are nothing like here, so it's much easier to add a sorority at a school like that. Also, sororities have to be invited to come on, and UA panhellenic has been doing that over the past 10 years by adding 3 of them, which is a big deal, and there needs to be a gap of a few years in between adding houses to allow the new ones to get up to Chapter Total. So after DG came in 2016, it would have been time to consider expanding again in 2019, but there was a pandemic. So that's why there are 11 sororities here.
