Despite high number of pledges, interest in greek organizations declining

Despite high number of pledges, interest in greek organizations declining

This year's enrollment jump has not only caused overcrowding in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln residence halls. Campus greek organizations are also witnessing some of their largest pledge numbers in years.

The number of sorority pledges increased by 21 from last year to a total of 501 - the highest total since 2002. The number of new fraternity members, an estimated 450, is the highest pledge class in at least six years.

Still, university officials say interest in greek organizations has dwindled during the past decade.

In fraternities, where negative stereotypes worry many parents and students, members are seeing century-long legacies slowly slipping away.
