Interesting, I think that if there is a decline in Greek interest it is because of the decline in quality of the interests. At my school there is an infusion of, shall we say, the hoochie culture. A lot of our freshmen, and more and more every year, just don't carry themselves in a respectable manner. On top of that, they simply aren't concerned with anything more than which football player to follow around, flirt with and/or try to get with. So while they may not be pursueing the Greek system, we aside from NOT recruiting, really aren't interested in them to begin with.

This actually helps attract QUALITY girls because they don't want to be around or associated with that mess to begin with.

I am a FIRM believer in quality over quantity. Yes, our lines have dropped from 22 to 17 to 11 to 8 over a 5 year period, but that is fine with me. I think a chapter of 16 due to a line of 8 is clearly functionable and respectable, especially at a PWI as my school is.
