Nope, fraternities at Truman are not that big (100s), but yeah the sororities are--mainly cuz while there are 5 sororities (used to be at least two more NPC there that folded), there are something like 18 fraternities? Been a while since I counted, but that lowers the average fraternity number quite a bit. We're also talking about a school where there is something like a 2:1 female:male ratio, so that ups the ladies' numbers a bit too.... I had yet to see another person who had graced the presence of Truman State University Campus
... I was going to comment on TSU's being normally around 100+ since at my current university (UMR) there are only 3 sororities and the total is 65 (which, I might add, Chi Omega hits nearly every semester
) Here we're talking a 1:5 female:male ratio... quite a different story
The only thing to do in Kirksville is be Greek, it seems... there are also high numbers of people from major cities, namely St. Louis, Chicago, and Kansas City (most people you ask would be from one of those three areas)--it seems there are strange factors that make the greek system so big there for such a small school *shrug*
Here fraternities have a pretty big range it seems... some have 10 or less, others have somewhere around 70-80 (like Phi Kappa Theta! woohoo!) The stronger houses seem to stay strong, while some of the weaker ones somehow manage to stick around year after year despite low numbers, so at least they aren't folding...
Oh yeah, there was a thread about Greek Advisors a while back and I complained about ours (said some mean things about here) but I would just like to comment that she is SO *GONE* now! Not sure why, but she mysteriously left for another school...
greek love,
april
