This may be mirrored in thethread resulting from my previous post, but
anyway, let's review the IVIES with/without chapters.

WITH: U Penn, Cornell, Yale.
WITHOUT: Princeton, Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia.

Yu'd figure that all these schools would be hotbeds of student service =
and involvement. But only 37.5% of the are blessed with APO, and before =
1990, there was just Cornell. Though I think at one point back in the =
50s, half
or maybe more had chapters?

One thing that may be worth mentioning is the fact that Harvard =
University prohibits any greek letter organizations on their campus.  It =
is specifically directed at the, "social" greek organizations, but, as =
AphiO is technically a greek letter organization, we fall into that =
category as well.  I know that there was some talk about possible =
removing this ban, or creating a clause allowing APhiO to charter there, =
but I heard that back in 1992,...  I wonder if other Ivy League schools =
have a similar type of ban?
