A few details: Membership percentages in Greek houses in 2009 was 33.15% of the total undergrad male population, with 47 members on average (50 chapters fell under the “fraternity” designation, but that includes MGLCs – accounting for their typically small number, the reduction is to 42 chapters, then the IFC average is about 54 members). For 2020, there were 28 IFC chapters, I don't know the exact membership numbers, but lower than 2005. For 2005, there were 40 IFC chapters, and an average of about 47 members per house (fraternity membership was 28.75%). For 1983, there were 50 IFC chapters, and an average in the low 50s. The chapters that existed in 1983 that don’t today are Phi Alpha Omega, a small collegetown-based fraternity started around 1982 and gone by 1986. Triangle, down to eleven members. Their national would shut them down by 1985. Phi Kappa Sigma, which closed in 1990. They had 35 members in 1983. Phi Sigma Epsilon, which merged on the national level with Phi Sigma Kappa in 1985, closing the Cornell chapter. It had 73 members in 1983. Psi Upsilon, we know what happened Phi Kappa Psi, again we know Sigma Nu, kicked off for hazing Alpha Tau Omega, kicked off by nationals Tau Epsilon Phi (TEP), kicked off for hazing Delta Phi (Llenroc), hazing again Sigma Phi Epsilon , hazing Seal and Serpent, active, but not IFC recognized Theta Xi, couldn't compete Kappa Alpha Society, couldn't compete Fiji, alcohol violations SAE, hazing Probably more I'm missing
