Most women at Akron stay in their chapters for all 4 years (sometimes longer). We have the women that drop out here and there and the transfers and so on, but nothing of my knowledge of it being that extreme. Now if you were to ask me how many women were left from my pledge class (Fall 99) during my last year (2003), I was the only one out of 16. Some women transferred, some were sophomores when they pledged and graduated a year and a half before me, and the women who should've went alum along with me decided to go alum a year before me because of upcoming graduations. I allowed myself to stay longer than them by not going to summer school because I wanted to run for office again since I was on Panhellenic the year before. In a way it was nice being the only one because everyone looked up to you as the example and knew that if they had a question they could come to you, but it was also disappointing because it would've been nice to have someone going along side of me. But hey.....it did prove to be pretty nice that we only lost 2 members from graduation in one semester instead of a whole class of women.....
