Sororities play quiet role in Greek Renaissance

Sororities play quiet role in Greek Renaissance
Despite success of new fraternities, sororities struggle to increase membership.
BY CHRISTINE KIM
What happens when you mix sororities and the Ivy League? You get Legally Blonde, some might say. Although thoughts of a "typical" Yale sorority member would probably not conjure images of Elle Woods, negative stereotypes of sororities at large still exist. While fraternities enjoy unprecedented popularity here at Yale, sorority memberships remain stagnant.
The recent additions of Sigma Phi Epsilon (Sig Ep) and Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) have brought Yale's fraternity count to 10, still not a large number in comparision to many state schools, but far more than Yale's three sororities, Kappa Alpha Theta (Theta), Kappa Kappa Gamma (Kappa), and Pi Beta Phi (Pi Phi), the newest of which was charted in 1989.
