Quite frankly, not everyone IS Greek material or even Delta, AKA, SGRho or Zeta material. Just because someone wants to be a member doesn't mean that they can or will be.
In general, I feel the decline is also in part due to the fact that non-members do not respect the struggles of the past - in our orgs or in Black history overall. There is a sense of entitlement among the non-Greeks and even some who made it.
In addition, there is too much pettiness, backbiting and inappropriate public displays going on in our chapters. We need to police our chapter bros/sorors a little better.

I truly believe that a big reason is also how the organizations approach the non-greeks. Sometimes they think so high of theirselves that they disrepect the future. When young people want to know about and organization and ask someone they tend to get shruged off or told something rude. You have to think that with out the non-greeks their can't be greeks. Then non-greeks feel they have to be perfect to get into an organization because they tend to believe that they have to be stuck up or classy or rough and a number of many things that discourage non-greeks. I want to be and AKA but I am nervous to approach one because people are in my ear telling me don't let them know just go to thier events or don't ask they get mad when you ask. I have seen a couple of examples when my friends would walk up to a sorority member and ask a question. They told her she is not greek material. She cried because her heart was set on it and I told she can do anything she wants just pray and be strong. Someone please reply(NOT DISREPECTING ANYONE THAT IS IN AN ORGANIZATION)
