Well, the question is: Is the economic downturn affecting rush for men more than women? Usually, the numbers of PNMs are equal for both genders at UTC. Is this happening on other campuses?

Thoughts? Theories?
It's a similar situation at my campus, Southeast Missouri State University. While almost all the sororities made quota as usual and had roughly 180 girls successfully receive a bid, almost every fraternity saw far smaller groups of men accepting bids. While the average size chapters will generally get is anywhere from 15-20, most chapters got only about 10-15 with one getting none at all.
