Well, I know at my college, greek life in general is actually really popular. The stats say around half the students are in some kind of greek organizations. Our APhiA's and Sigmas crossed pretty large lines this semester (10 and 11 respectively). However, it looks like it's a major problem w/ paper members, just in it to make themselves popular. Some pretty much become wut I like to call "fraternal clones" and they've pretty much drained almost all their personality off of their org. That seems to have turned a few ppl off. Also, it's been A LOT of drama b/w organizations. The AKA's and Deltas have gotten in a fight, and the Alphas have gotten in almost 3 fights this semester. ALSO, the AKA's came under fire for hazing, and some of my friends that wanted to pledge AKA were turned off by that and they're not even goin greek now. I mean, I'm still interested in pledging, but my biggest fear is gettin sucked into the mess of rival greek orgs. But it's just a lot of factors voting against the future of BGLOs. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some of them didn't make it to a 2nd centennial.
