			I was in college when the first George Bush was president.  There was also a terrible recesssion which impacted my state and ultimately my chapter.  I attended a state university so most people didn't have money to burn.  Unfortunately when the recession hit, the parents of some of my sisters found themselves unemployed.  One of these sisters had to go inactive for financial reasons as a result.  We had many friends whom we believed were potential sisters, but they didn't rush because of financial concerns.  When people struggle to pay tuition, room, and board, greek membership is a luxury that they can not afford.
