LSU numbers were up as well. Yet, I know my son's, roommate's sister quit her sorority (LSU) because of money. Not that it was too expensive, but that it was too expensive in terms of what she got out of it. That is a statement made by her mother. The first year she didn't work. The second, she got a job. She resigned at the end of the second year. It was the "extras" that got her. The vacations she couldn't join with her sisters and such.
When a ton of girls quit...as they did LAST year...it permeates through the community. Locally, we had about the same number sign up, but this year, many dropped out if they were cut too heavily. Some went to pref and didn't sign. I'm starting to wonder if it isn't more the attitude of our area. ***We had a record number of young men pledge this year!!!
I don't think TV or movies has much to do with it. Oh sure, maybe one or two will see it as "the devil". Maybe instead of just looking at the campus situation, it would be informative to look at who feeds into your college and what the current situation, be it economic or general attitude toward Greek Life, is at this time.
