^^^ My grad school classes were similarly Greek-unpopulated. I was the ONLY Greek in every class I took. When I was teaching (as a GA), however, it was amazing how many students were Greek. It just struck me as odd that even though the undergrad population was heavily Greek, once those students progressed to grad school (at least in my department), Greek life just suddenly vanished.

There are lots of Greeks in my classes now, but only a few have caught on to the fact that I am. In fact, after class one night, a DG came up to me apologizing for having to miss the next week's class, and she said, "I won't be here next week because I have a sorority meeting, and this is one that is a lot more involved than most.... [insert too much info here].... I know it sounds like a lame excuse, but there's really nothing I can do about it." I just smiled and nodded; I couldn't believe she let so much slip!
