Benzgirl, I dunno if they're "THAT" big. Frankly, I've never thought of Johns Hopkins as being a rah-rah pro-sports-in-all-but-name type of school, but that could just be me. The impression I got from the article was that fraternities at Johns Hopkins that had traditionally (or recently) recruited heavily from one or two teams were running into problems. They may have to adjust to seeking new members elsewhere, and I can see how it could be hard to make that adjustment. If lots of members are into one or two particular sports, especially school teams, getting out of that comfort zone may be tough.
