The size of the Greek system has definitely declined over the last decade at Iowa, but they made some big changes and I think it's on it's way back up. Recs won't be required, but they're always appreciated - there are still 600+ girls going through so you want to be remembered. They use RFM and there are big cuts after round one.
There has been a big problem over the last couple years with girls dropping because they didn't get their first choice house. This is RIDICULOUS. Every single house there has good things about it, and most have been on campus for nearly100 years (note all the single letter chapters represented there!). This isn't a campus where the reputations are cast in stone. The top houses there now are NOT the same as when I went there 25 years ago, so you can feel free to take a chance on that smaller house or the one that seems less cool. The Greek system there seems to be in a big state of flux, so take a chance!
The fraternities went through a HUGE mess about 10 years ago and they're just starting to come back on campus, so there aren't 100 year old relationships between sororities and fraternities anymore either.
PM me with specific questions if you'd like. Go Hawks!
