If they want higher grades, make that a criteria for recognition. If they want less alcohol, make being dry a criteria for recognition. Etc.

Actually Fuzzie, I was reading an article that I guess is from Tri Delta's magazine, and it was all about recruitment now as compared to in the past. There was a study done by
The American Freshman , conducted at UCLA, and less than 1% of incoming freshmen ever plan to live in sorority/fraternity housing, and only 11% even are considering joining a fraternity or sorority. So the numbers are pretty low!
BUT, I think that a lot more people will be greek if you can show them the benefits of the system. We just turned a chapter around on a campus where they haze like hell. Our chapter doesn't haze, but were lumped in with other groups who do. We sold our non-hazing point. The chapter went from 16 women to 40 in 3 weeks.
