Our Fall Pledge class was horrible. We started out with 8 guys and initiated 5, but have already had one quite. It really was just limited to Beta though. Among the 14 fraternities on my campus, only 75 guys were initiated. IFC and the Unviersity have actually been holding a series of meetings to figure out what the heck happened.
Some of that statistics I've heard about last semester were really bad. 2 chapters here have lawsuits filed against them. One house burned down. The average GPA was 1.5 (ours was a 3.3), with one chapter having a .5 GPA. Fraternities were the #2 complaint to the University this past semester....it's bad. They have actually talked about putting non-member graduates in each fraternity house, sort of like an RA at the dorms.
We really worked our asses of this spring and had rush practices, used RTS, and a few other things and got 13 pledges this spring. It's looking up, but we've already had one guy quite.
