My cousin attends there, and she says that it's not fair to them, but they are the group that happens to currently struggle with membership. Most girls would rather be GDI than Kappa Delta, and with a different informal recruitment, they've found it easier to pick up more girls without the stress of a failing formal recruitment.
By low number, she was stressing that quota her year was 63, and kappa delta only had 11 or 12 bid acceptances, and that many drop out further into the experience. They are less than a third of the average chapter size.
Panhellenic and SOME (although sadly, not all) of the sororities and even some of the fraternities are helping them out now.

I wasn't aware that you could really opt out of formal recruitment. I looked at their website which has pictures of really cute girls. I wish them the best of luck getting out of this hole...unfortunately, it never is fair.
