I went to Iowa in the 80's and things were much different, but I was kind of wondering about the Greek Life office. Then, it was run by this fantastic woman, sorry I can't remember her name, who gave lectures all over the country. I wondered how big her role was in the success of the system.
They changed the way they do cuts last year. My sorority is small on campus and this new trend should have helped but appears to have backfired. Either the girls drop out or go all the way through preference, but don't pledge the small house. It's too bad there's no way to explain that if you pledge, it won't be a small house any more! With shrinking numbers, one solid new member class would get them right back in contention pretty quickly. It sounds like the analysis given above sort of matches my thinking. Thanks for the info.
