Thanks so much for this info! And yes, it does make the process a little easier to understand. I will be going through recruitment at the Univ. of Kansas this Fall, where as many as 900 girls participate. My parents used to be wary of me joining a sorority because of last year's statistics: only 600 of the 900 pledged. At a Greek Life meeting that we attended together at New Student Orientation, we learned that about 200 girls withdrew! It's good to have these explanations of why girls need to maximize their options and be open-minded! I promised my mom and dad that I would stick with it no matter what happens during the week of recruitment. Now my parents are completely happy that I want to "go Greek."
