Lower Quotas This Year

[adpiucf]

The UCF school newspaper just released a very unflattering article about the drop in numbers. As ZTAngel mentioned, until this year UCF was on a high, with PNM turnout getting larger and larger each year.

So it's leveling out at UCF... That's a sigh of relief for the chapters-- there's 11 of them bursting at the seams! I won't panic for the school until the number drops substantially.

Still if recruitment registrations are down across this board in the US/Canada, this is a good opportunity to examine how each NPC is relating to today's college women-- maybe take some time to reassess "who is the likely-joiner" and continue to build on programming that will be attractive to that likely-joiner, reinforce zero tolerance hazing policies, and work with administrations to create a friendly Greek climate on campus.

... I feel the recent hazing incidents that have made national news and GLO/Admin conflicts have caused some to shy away from pursuing membership. This could account for the drops in numbers, as well as the continuing trend of the non-traditional college student taking over the campuses (this isn't a bad thing; we just have to market to those students in a different way.)

ETA: The most immediate thing that chapters and CPC's can do is promote Greek Life everyday! In your words and actions, wear letters, be involved on campus, provide all-campus programming and events, get involved with student orientation, and continue to be exemplary campus leaders and scholars.
