We had a saying, if you can't go Greek, go TKE, if you can't go TKE go home. No offense to any TKEs.

Definitely picking back up now. We also have all nine of the Divine Nine (AA Fraternities and Sororities)
Fraternities:
Alpha Chi Rho
Alpha Epsilon Pi
Alpha Sigma Phi
Alpha Tau Omega
Beta Theta Pi (Second Chapter)
Delta Tau Delta (4th Chapter)
Kappa Sigma
Lambda Chi Alpha
Phi Delta Theta
FIJI
Phi Kappa Tau
Phi Kappa Theta
Pi Kappa Alpha
Pi Kappa Phi
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (Second Chapter in the North)
Sigma Chi (Second Chapter)
Sigma Phi Epsilon
Sigma Tau Gamma
Tau Kappa Epsilon
Theta Chi
Triangle (5th Chapter)
(Only chapters above 100 are Beta, Pike, SAE, SigEp, and SigChi...most others are below 50)
Sororities:
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Phi Mu
Pi Beta Phi
Phi Sigma Rho
Theta Phi Alpha
(Every chapter is over 150, and KKG, Theta, and Pi Phi are over 175, there were a few more, but they were permanently banned in the early 00's for running an escort service...)
Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity colonized at UC last year with around 70 men. As a former staffer for PSK back in the early 90's, I was tangentially involved with some of the alums helping that effort out. Seems like a good group, with solid focus. They should do well going forward.
PSK also has chapters at UK, IU, Ohio State, Dayton, Bowling Green, Akron, Kent State, Ball State (a bunch of MAC schools) ... as far as chapters close to Cincy, as best I can remember. (Dayton has been off an on, so I am not sure their status as of right now).

That's great to hear...much different than the recent extension candidates at UC. I only listed fully chartered IFC members, but I was aware that they colonized as well. There is quite a lot of room for growth on both sides of the aisle at UC given the southern-light atmosphere of the city and the openness of the campus to Greek organizations as a whole.

RE: Fraternities and Sororities
Someone already covered the UCF ones. Always thought there were too few chapters given the size of the campus. But then again, there have been sororities over the years that couldn't keep a large enough membership to survive. Probably doesn't help that there is very limited space for on-campus Greek housing. And the proposals moving forward have been stalled for years and will be extremely expensive.

We don't have a lot of Greek life at WSU. Students are too busy shocking wheat, milking cows, and helping the sheep get over the fence.

I sure hope Farmhouse isn't like the one up at Michigan State, bunch of fake hicks that don't have a clue how to have a good time.

Didn't have those among our 25 frats. Bottom of the barrel were Sig Ep, Psi U, and Beta Theta Pi.
Bottom sororities were DG (Dick Garage) and AEPhi (Alpha Eat a Pie).

The SAE at Toledo is garbage...makes me hate admitting that I'm a brother to students here.
