I'm still waiting for news on what percentage of these gals are sophomores. I'm wondering how many realized they made a huge mistake last year and are giving it another go with fresh eyes and a new perspective.
Granted, it's been a few years since I was an advisor there, but girls not keeping an open mind was a big issue during the five years I was an advisor. If they were released from the 2-3 chapters they thought they "deserved" to be in, then they didn't want to bother with the rest.

The marketing for Greek Life has done a huge 180 since that time though - from practically nothing to a lovely website and informational brochure. Hopefully the administration has become more supportive as well.
