I totally agree with what you and SmartBlondeGPhB said. We have to change for the new millennial student. Universities are doing this with apartment styled housing instead of dorms. It's going crazy at Nebraska. There are new buildings going up constantly.
We have had discussions about this subject at our conferences and are trying to taylor our greek life to supplement these new students. Some are the first in their family to go to college. They are tech savvy, more independent, etc.
Plus, I never really saw the point of those carnival style recruitment deals sororities do anyway.
