Every year we team up with a fraternity and do Homecoming and Greek week...these are practically month-long events with tons of service, fundraising, points, etc..... a fraternity won't want to partner with only 40 girls, no matter how much they like them, b/c they need enough manpower to win. And that's really unfortunate.

Yea 180 sounds about right. The numbers are always fluctuating and sometimes houses are losing 70+ members per year, and then in some cases they don't lose any at all. As long as you are over 100 girls though it seems possible for a house to survive here. Sigma Kappa honestly seemed to try everything and they worked so hard, but it just wasn't possible. The best thing for them really now is to shut down and come back once everyone who is currently here has graduated. Why exactly, I don't know but I don't know if there is one specific reason for what happened with them. I wish all the girls the best of luck though!!
