My fraternity's retention rate is usually around 85%, give or take a point or two...seems like we were near 90% one semester. I would hope most fraternities are at least around the 80% mark.

It may sound like I'm dogging Kappa Sig...I'm not. Increasing your number of pledges by over 30% and your initiates by over 20% in one year is great - I'd be happy with 10-15% growth.

At the end of the day, you can talk all you want about the number of men you pledged. But what good is it if they aren't initiated? It tells me that you've gotten the first step: they're being pinned. Now here's your next step: initiate them. And from there, get them to donate to your foundation.

Again, congrats to Kappa Sig and I hope you're even more successful this year.
