			I've always thought that the female-centric aspect of greekchat was a combination of a few factors: 
 
1. Girls just like to talk more. 
I mean, I've heard of sorority exec meetings that last literally all afternoon... on a regular basis, when there's not a "crisis" going on or anything. Girls/women just seem to be more chatty than guys, especially in the greek world. I think this is the biggest factor, honestly. 
 
2. Sororities generally have more in common with one another 
At least, the NPC seems to have pretty much standardized a lot of aspects of NPC sorority life on a national basis, so they have a lot of common ground that they can start topics about. Fraternities seem to have a lot more variation in style from place to place. 
 
3. There's more to talk about with a sorority, rather than a fraternity 
This is the "recruitment story" syndrome. It seems like many women have a long, drawn-out recruitment experience, with lots of ups and downs, but a lot of IFC "recruitment stories" would go something like this:  
 
Day 1: 
Went to a few houses, didn't really like them. 
Day 2:  
Went to a few more houses, a couple were pretty cool. 
Day 3: 
Went back to the houses I liked, one of them offered me a bid, I took it. I guess I'm a pledge now. 
 
There's just not the drama there, y'know?
