To put another spin on things . . . rush numbers at my school were up this year, at least for the sororities. I don't know about the fraternities. I think we usually have somewhere between 600-700 rushees and this year there were 800+.
The really low point on our campus came in the 1980s when the sororities got so low in numbers that a couple of chapters that had been here for decades had to be shut down. In the past five years or so, though, sororities have been growing to the point where I think they might even be considering re-colonizing one of those groups.
From reading the posts in the rush forum, it looks like sorority rush numbers were up quite a bit this year at many of the big schools with stronger or bigger Greek systems, but down at a lot of the schools with smaller Greek systems.
