Question about UCLA Recruitment

[modorney]

How severe was the decline of sororities in the late sixties and seventies?

Did the fraternities and sororities decline pretty much evenly?

Did decline start early in the sixties (like at Berkeley)?

The alums of that era - are they getting active again, now that they are starting to retire?

The decline was more 70's & 80's -- both fraternities & sororities. Lower membership #s in the 90's, but started increasing in the late 1990's and more multicultural groups colonizing. Continued growth now with the groups coming back on campus are recolonizations (both sides).

AGD comes back this fall to UCLA AND USC (not sure when the UCLA chapter closed -- possibly 80's?), but lots of local alumnae are beyond excited to become involved! (AGC is also colonizing at UCSD too so they are crazy-busy in SoCal!)
