I always wondered about this myself.....but it isn't only a problem in the deep south!!!!! For a pretty large school, Kent State has a fairly small greek system. When I was there ('90-'94) we only comprised 4% of the school population....and the greek system was MUCH larger then than it is now. In my time, there were 7 sororities total, but only 3 of them were considered "prestigious." A couple of times we were faced with the possibility of girls from other schools coming to KSU and trying to affiliate. We actually had one come from Akron U which had an unusually weak XO chapter. She really surprised us....she was a girl who would have rushed very successfully at Kent...and she did affiliate. In XO we had a sort of pledge period, where the girl who is looking to affiliate gets to know the chapter, and learns our chapter's history, etc. Then we vote on whether to affiliate her or not. (If she is voted out, she goes alum.)
