The Greek System in Berkeley in general is having a rough time unfortunately because of the Moratorium that was implace a year past and the restrictions that still remain to this day.
Furthermore, some fraternities are sucking up all the pledges as well. Our local of TKE acquired 33 pledges this semester simply because accepting the bid was pretty much a couple week -- here, learn this crap waiting period and then an instant initiation or something to that effect. I think its wonderful that they managed to bring in that many guys, but frankly -- I am disappointed that they didn't have to work as hard to "Cross Over" as I did -- especially since I spent the last half of my semester alone. I was extremely proud when I initiated for the simple fact that I had done something that was really unprecedented in the history of our chapter.
My house, Theta Delta Chi is dangerously low on guys because three brothers deactivated this semester; however, we would never do anything that drastic. Though this upcoming fall is going to be critical if we are to stay alive...
