Honeychile, your linked article isn't working for me, and when I tried to quote it the link grew in listed size times seven. It's also listed as an https, does that mean it's behind a paywall?
WIFLS: Some schools, small private as well as so-called state schools, have experienced at least a decade of lowered sorority recruitment numbers. Reasons for the decrease can include Covid-19, general student disinterest in greek life, student perception of greek's inclusivity, and economic factors.
Chapters on these campuses have sometimes remained open despite the lower numbers. Among the reasons small sorority chapters might be staying open are lack of expensive greek housing, strong national sorority help and guidance to keep their smaller chapters thriving without closing, and/or a strong campus greek support system.
When and where all factors work together for a positive small sorority chapter outcome, the benefits will affect the students, campus, and the national sorority.
I, for one, am happy my sorority hasn't closed it's smaller and reduced-in-size chapters too hastily during the past ten years.
