University:  Old Dominion University - ODU

Greek Organization:  Kappa Sigma

Comment:  The most inflated fraternity at ODU. If they had between 35-50 members they would be a solid medium sized organization, and their community service/philanthropy would mean more. They've adopted PIKEs sustenance model which depends on mass bidding and mass initiations which has brought them problems. They not only have more members than all fraternities, but sororities too which makes room for cliques, a lack of a chapter identity, awkward presence at events, and a declining social reputation. Kappa Sig's GPA has been repeatedly towards the bottom of greek life, socially they depend on more reputable organizations, and the only time they win in IM is if other organizations are banned. They excel at philanthropy and fundraising, but when you have 83 brothers and 24 pledges its not hard to raise 1,000 dollars. It would make sense for them to ease up on recruiting and focus on chapter development since only 15-20 members of their entire organization have good reputations. The PIKE model gives PIKE issues because it is unsustainable but they make it work because they have 23 years of uninterrupted development on campus.
