Then vs Now - Sorority Quota and Total

I hate to see this, but when they keep jacking up the price of things for students who predominantly come from working/middle class, a lot of kids probably just can't afford the extra costs.

This sums it up...plus when you’re working multiple jobs or going home to work every weekend a GLO is the last thing you need on your plate. I can only guess that WCU must be getting kids who couldn’t afford the private schools in the area (but could have 15-20 years ago).

Do you know how things are at Clarion? I was sad to see a group close there.

Wait, another one? Fraternity or sorority?

We went from 10 fraternities while I was there to I think 4 now, and from 8 sororities to 5. Totals of all are way way down.

Oh yeah that was a while ago.

I think we can also make the sweeping generalization that unless the school is Mississippi University for Women or someplace of the like, when there are more sororities/sorority members than fraternities/fraternity members, the system is in deep doo-doo.

West Chester is an anomaly, no doubt, but Kutztown has experienced growth as well. Campus total is around 60, and they've added a chapter in the last 3 years. As for the other SSHE schools, who the hell knows!
