But anyway - my answer was addressing SPAGD's grousing about the "malls, dining, activities" being far away. If those are the things that the students are citing as a reason for leaving the school, changing when you can become involved with Greek life isn't going to help that. Students who do not like a small town atmosphere are not going to instantly love it just because they join a GLO.

I think you are underestimating how much an active greek system can bring to a college. I may have been mistaken in emphasizing the parties, but I think it's what kids are typically looking for, pretty much all of them, otherwise we wouldn't be categorized as social GLOs. It doesn't have to be all keggers and shots, but it's social opportunities that I think most people join for.
The groups offer a lot more than that, of course, but if the problem is a lack of fun stuff to do, then emphasizing the fun stuff is probably the way to go.
