Chapter total last year was 268. Quota of 75 from Fall recruitment drove up the avg and Panhellenic raised total to 278. Chapters below total were allowed to COB to reach total if they wanted. If you look at the chapter number stats from above, if PhiMu/AOPi didn't graduate that many women from Spring to Fall (not sure if they did or not) and they added 75 PNMs, then they could easily be 300 or more. The additional of two new chapters in the past few years was to lower total so the chapters could be more manageable in size - that is why Panhellenic voted for extension. As long as recruitment numbers don't go crazy over the next few years like this year, then campus total should slowly go back down. Sorority membership at UGA grew by 1100+ members since 2011. Campus total in 2011 was 180 with avg 196. I'm sure once the Fall 2017 stats come out, it will show an even greater increase than last year. I'm pretty sure panhellenic doesn't wan to be the next Bama or Ole Miss with huge chapters. Also, pretty sure House Corps don't want to continue to expand house to accommodate growing chapters. Dining rooms and chapter rooms can only hold so many members...
