I couldn't find any information on the organizations (I only found a list of Student Organizations, and the GLOs listed there were AXO and AXiD for the women, and SAE for the men), but it was interesting to look at the breakdown of enrollment for the Fall 2005 semester (found at
http://www.csusm.edu/newsmedia/backg...stu-enroll.htm). Less than 50% (actually, 43.7%) of the students are 22 years of age or younger, which
perhaps would be another "reason" for the lower numbers of students going Greek?
The campus is still building many of the campus buildings - the library was just completed within the past few years, their dorms (or what I *think* were their dorms) were still being built as of Spring 2004 - or so I think I remember
. I also found a history of the university (
http://www.csusm.edu/newsmedia/background/history.htm) - it didn't become a "full" four-year institution until 1995, so the development and growth is an ongoing process.
Having grown up in San Diego county, I never really knew anything about CSUSM until about my junior year of high school (1996/1997), and of my friends that have gone there/are going there now, many of them never lived on campus and I don't think were really into campus activities. Now, maybe that was a personal choice, but I can't speak from the perspective of being a student there and deciding whether or not to join a Greek organization.
