I attended college in NYC, and it fell under the umbrella of City Chapters of the various BGLO's, so it was no cake walk. There is only one BGLO fraternity that have a chapter at my ugrad. If you were determined to become a member, you had to do some serious researching. For the most part, the real serious interests found what and whom they were looking for and were successful in becoming members. For the others who talked about wanting to join and not actually following up, it was mainly because they didn't do what was necesssary (not researching for chapters, members, service projects, etc.). These people probably didn't look at the bigger picture and figured it was just something to do while in school. I do know of one person who became a member of a BGLO fraternity on the alumni level.
I can't speak for the menfolk, but like toocute posted previously, as far as women seeking membership on the graduate level, the interest is alive and kicking in NY/NJ. Go to any event or service project sponsored by the graduate chapters, interests are there in full swing.
