Article about the beginning of recruitment at Eastern Illinois University. The article mentions that just over 90 women are going through recruitment, down from 300 women 4 years ago.
According to some GCers last year, this is because of an overall drop in enrollment at EIU due to budget cuts from the state.

Without getting too far off-topic, this has been a problem for all the Illinois state schools besides UIUC.
Here's a Chicago Tribune article about it. Chicago State, which has NPHC groups and Sigma Lambda Gamma, has
had it even worse, enrolling just 86 first-time freshmen last year.
If I were working at one of those schools in Greek life I would not be looking at expansion any time soon, because the enrollment numbers won't be able to support it.
