all 26 npcs?

PSS and AST have never had a presence at IU. SSS did briefly.

I think it was SSS that had the option, was chosen to colonize, and backed out. I believe PSS has also rejected any opportunity due to the housing situation and a lack of interest in inevesting a ton and failing.

These groups have smaller national presences and no money to waste on a potentially failed colonization. I'm surprised TPA moved forward, especially with how many colonies they've had to close recently due to lack of interest. Unless IU can guarantee housing, I can't see PSS or AST playing ball.

The university isn’t selling any more land for Greek organizations to build on, so if they did, they’d have to be unhoused. It’s the same reason why one of the sororities is going back to being unhoused in the near future. Not to mention, Tri Delt nationals has been having so many problems with other chapters outside of IU that I highly doubt they’ll be coming back anytime too soon.

Of course, it’s possible that if the culture changes and Tri Delt’s reputation doesn’t follow them, we’ll be back to 23. But until that change happens we definitely won’t have all 26.

I don't know about AST, but Tri Sigma is not interested in coming here any time soon. Phi Sig I think is more interested in building chapters at schools with a big and healthy greek life. IU has a big greek life, but we're kidding ourselves if we think it's healthy. They would be throwing money away by colonizing here until we get it together a little more.

The organisations you mention are all strong nationally. Did Afro delt National keep the house on east 3rd? If so, they will be well-positioned to come back. Sororities (and fraternities) must respond to whenever the university will look for new chapters. Depends on rush numbers- many houses added the last 10 years to respond to very low % from rush sign-up to actually getting a bid. Those numbers are much stronger now thanks to having more chapters on campus and the seniors-can-live-out policies.

Tri Delts isn't recolonizing until 2026 at the earliest so we're probably staying at 22

Why would you think Tri Delt would be gone for 10 years? That is literally the longest punishment any chapter at IU (including fraternities where someone died) has ever received. Seems a bit much doesn't it?
