We now have 50 members and 2 pledges that are soon to be initiates and are looking forward to Spring Recruitment, but our numbers still aren't as good as they could be. Most of the sororities on campus this year had trouble of reaching their quota, but i don't know about the fraternities. I do think it has a lot to do with the way Greek Organizations are seen by the public. We hear so much about how negative sororites and fraternities are, but you rarely hear about us when we do something good for the community or the campus.

Hey, Liz, we go to the same school! Since this past fall was the biggest rush in terms of numbers that UK has ever had, I think Greek life is doing fairly well. About half the groups didn't make quota during formal rush, but that's about normal...we were about five under quota, but we had no trouble filling those spots pretty quickly. And keep in mind, your chapter just recolonized, so you're probably not going to be as huge as some that have been around longer. We recolonized several years back and we were small for a while, but our numbers jumped up after a while and I'm sure yours will, too.
