Personally, I think the houses are a slight part of the scenario. Although there has been a monetary increase across the board, in most cases this money goes directly toward a return (either food or housing, etc...) But more IS required than previous years, so I can see where there may be a transitional perception that sorority life is too expensive now- could turn numbers down a bit.
At Tennessee I think the bigger issue is that, over the last ten years, admission to the University itself has been becoming more and more difficult. Many women who got in easily a decade ago would not be able to meet the requirements today. So it is a much different school of women coming to UT these days- many are extremely focused on school and don't consider Recruitment. I think we are losing many women to schools like Alabama, Auburn, and South Carolina--all campuses whose Greek Life is experiencing tremendous growth. Just my humble opinion...hope no one takes offense!
I'm sure the "butt chugging" didn't help us either. Lordy, what a nightmare!
