Actually,

I don't see the 'greek' decline as people say. I have been a graduate advisor for several chapters. And each and every year, we get more and more people showing up. And looking at membership numbers for the year (on a national level), it isn't declining....actually, since 'MIP'....we've crossed a lot more people! Lines were a lot 'smaller' back in the day at most schools (the bigger HBCU's still had big lines)!(just my observations).

And trust me....even at those schools with lines of 50-150...there are a lot of girls still rejected! Everyone is not selected! I still run into random people on the streets inquiring about greek life (when I wear pari!) and over the internet...I can't tell you how many emails I've received from people I don't know.....So as to the question of decline.....I just don't see it.

But at any rate........everyone 'sees' things from their point of view. Because I'm in the 'greek' world...I meet/see 'Greeks' all the time.

Lastly....not saying that people can't discuss what they want to discuss....and I'm definitely not saying the people who aren't Greek shouldn't talk about such....but why do you care? If we aren't going to be here...we aren't going to be here. You weren't a member in the first place....(that's just my opinion...and that's just how I think about other orgs. when people post about them).

How, maybe such is declining at your schools...but from the numbers that AKA has...we are still growing. Are members staying active...that's another question altogether.

And to the person who was talking about 'orgs' that are multi-cultural and 'new' orgs. being more acceptable (something along those lines). We do have people of different backgrounds in our orgs. and a lot of us are accepting of this....as long as you agree with our standards and agree to promote what we stand for (usually something dealing with the black family or black community)....it doesn't make a difference.
