we need more sororities
by: PNMWhy is it we have like 15 fraternities but only 6 Panhellenic sororities? I've always wanted to go Greek but I didn't feel at home at any of them. Why dont they bring on more sororites like Phi Sigma Sigma or Alpha Gamma Delta?

I'd rather see good big name sororities here like Tri Delt, KKG and Pi Phi. I think strong national chapters is exactly what our school needs for greek life to have more of a presence here. People are more likely to rush if they have friends in a chapter on campus even if their friend is at another school.

San Jose State needs additional sororities. The current houses are too small for 100 members let alone 120. Former houses that closed in the late 60's and early 70's should be brought back to campus; e.g. Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta. Chi Omega which closed in the 90's should also be brought back.
These sororities would give the diversity needed for women going through recruitment.

You have to remember a campus will change status and stature over time. What originally brought an AXO, GPhi, Theta, KKG, Sigma Kappa, XO, Phi Mu or AEPhi chapter to our campus may not exist today.
Individual sorority criteria as to where and when they will re/colonize chapters changes, too.
In very rare cases a sorority will be permanently abolished from a campus.
That said, the decision to open for expansion has not been broached in nearly a decade. But the current trend nationwide is smaller incoming frosh classes that tend toward being less able to successfully juggle extracurricular university activities due to financials.

I go to school at Ucla where we have 11 Pan hel sororities. All except for AGD have just about if not over 200 members. Adding more sosoritiss to a school like sjsu isn’t good as they don’t have large chapters as is. Also tridelt just left because they struggled so much but agd isn’t that far off either

An NPC sorority would have to CHOOSE to be here, and expansion is NOT a major concern for many of them at this time.

This. Greek life here has ZERO support from the school. Major downturn started in late 2018/early 2019. I would expect to see less sororities at sjsu in the coming years if anything.

TriDelta really struggles out west. They are going off at University of Arizona and just went off at UCLA, because they struggle so much. Most California schools they are the lowest house. They would struggle here.
