Delt Alum, I know exactly what you are saying. I too have seen the statistics! (What parent WOULDN'T be aware of the situation....don't answer that!) That's why I think college finds people pretty set in their ways. High school experiences are "molding" our children more so than higher eduacation and the experiences that go along with independence. I firmly believe there's a change in the wind-has been for a long time. Maybe we should be addressing the question-"What role will Greek Organizations play in the future?"
There has to be a carrot for most people when they give up a freedom of any kind. Are Greek organizations offering a big enough carrot? If people asked, "What's in it for me?" in the 90's, what will they be asking next? We have to keep the motivation going, the benefits visible or else the sacrifices may appear to exceed the benefits. TO PLAY IT SAFE-IMHO!
It's a two sided sword for sure. And there in lies the dilema.
