First timer...have lurked for a while, and mother of a USC sorority member. I have a few comments, observations, questions. Quota was in the mid-forties for my daughter's sorority but they have over 60 new pledges. Having pledged at an sec school way back in the day, I don't understand why there is such a bump up from quota. Also, football fan, have enjoyed reading your observations about sc sorority rush. I think you're right on with the changing demographic of the student body, but it's hard to understand with such a "strong" greek system why so many women drop out of rush when they don't get invited back to the so-called top tier ones. Evidently, there was a large number that dropped again this year. Having attended an sec school, and having had another daughter also attend an sec school, and hearing about the success that Alabama and Florida State are having with new chapters, why won't these girls make that leap of faith? They clearly wanted to be part of the greek community because they started the process.
