(not like Michigan State, Northwood, Ferris, or Central Michigan) The chapters are large enough at Western that I think most women would find a group within any chapter with which they would click. Total was higher there than at Eastern or Central, equal sized state schools with similar admissions criteria. The housing is rented space from the University with larger chapters in fairly big dorm type spaces and smaller chapters in more apartment style buildings. Awesome campus. I was sad that our chapter didn't make it there.

ETA: Our closure was strictly numbers related, NOT risk management related. I never had any risk management issues with our chapter there.

Thank you so much for the information! She said she has a few friends who are in sororities but they party a lot and it's why she is worried. I'm trying to remind her that the party girls are usually the loud girls and the ones that are quite and she'd fit better are probably not visible as much. I want her to at least go to the information session!

It's always sad to see a chapter close because of numbers, my own chapter closed because of numbers and I know how difficult it is!
