I am truly shocked that in this day and age women are automatically cut for majoring in engineering/hard science/cs/math. Even in my day as an undergrad, non-Mickey Mouse major women pledged all the sororities on my campus. Later on in my advising years at several other schools, I know that my org. took girls who were majoring in tough disciplines.

My alma mater had both an engineering institute and a college of math/science (since split into math/sci and now cs). Greek Life wasn't and still isn't a huge percentage of the student body, but it was/is relatively influential. Student Gov leaders tend to be greek, blah, blah, blah. We just never had mandatory meetings on M-Th nights. From what I recall, all GLOs had chapter meetings on Sunday nights and mixers were only on weekends. I know many Ivies and top engineering schools that still do the same.
