The fraternities of the Machine use to pretty much tell the sororities what to do, and NEVER backed a sorority member for an SGA office. That has changed...some. Really, the sororities have WAY more members than fraternities and ought to take over the Machine! (And yes, I admire Minda Riley for standing up to them!)

I've wondered for a while why Alabama sororities often have significantly more members than fraternities. Do y'all think if they traditionally recruited most of their members at a fall formal rush instead of informally over the spring and summer they would be much bigger? It would definitely seem so if they saw everybody and everybody saw them. Certainly with the Machine and all, it would seem they would be popular for those who could get in. They have been growing steadily since 2003 when they put more emphasis on formal rush and went to potential members in Alabama cities instead of having them come to them.
