I like to think that, when it comes to recruitment, girls have infinitely more rules. All of our best tactics on meeting people and making friendships would be squashed if we had to follow their rules, but EVERY SINGLE YEAR they manage to get more members than we do.
Each sorority manages to pull in more than double the average Fraternity class with no problem at all, and from what I understand, it's the same way at almost every school.
So what's the deal? Are women wired to be more likely to join a sorority? Do sororities have better reputations than fraternities? Is their seemingly wacked-out recruitment process actually MORE conducive to recruitment?
What do you guys think?

I have read in a few places that nationally, about ten percent of students "go Greek," but I cannot find the percentage of men versus women. Indeed, on some campuses, the average number of members in sororities outnumber the number of men in fraternities, but often, there are many more fraternities on the campus than women's organizations. You have to consider the total numbers. I'll keep looking for the statistic for the percentage of men vs. women participating.
Now, the percentage of female students is about 57%. I don't know how that translates into Greek membership; it may or may not be a factor.
