SAN MARCOS ---- Members of the two fraternities and two sororities at Cal State San Marcos say the friendships they have forged in these groups play a crucial role in making their college experience a well-rounded one.
The students also say that they view membership in fraternities and sororities as one of the only ways to cultivate a thriving social life on a campus where virtually all the students commute.
But despite these benefits, membership in such groups at the university has flattened at roughly 200 students in recent years, even as overall enrollment has grown beyond 7,500.
