This is a very valid point. At times of uncertainty, unrest, fear of the future, people tend to seek out the comfort of traditional events and experiences. Sorority and Fraternity life conjure up images of a simpler time.

Also agree that Greek, FB and social networking, more students attending college, jump in enrollment in "med tier" schools also play a part.
