What is causing recruitment numbers to be down at some places?

[amIblue?]

My daughter is a high school senior this year, and she is very iffy about going through recruitment. She is way more concerned about internship opportunities, graduate school, etc. I am also very iffy about being able to pay sorority dues in the current economy, especially at a school with big houses to maintain, etc. She was raised by an involved alumna mom (me). The article honeychile posted rang familiar to me.
