Fraternity Recruitment - Harder Than Sorority Recruitment?

I like to think that, when it comes to recruitment, girls have infinitely more rules. All of our best tactics on meeting people and making friendships would be squashed if we had to follow their rules, but EVERY SINGLE YEAR they manage to get more members than we do.

Each sorority manages to pull in more than double the average Fraternity class with no problem at all, and from what I understand, it's the same way at almost every school.

So what's the deal? Are women wired to be more likely to join a sorority? Do sororities have better reputations than fraternities? Is their seemingly wacked-out recruitment process actually MORE conducive to recruitment?

What do you guys think?

So is the total number of female sorority members greater than the total number of male fraternity members on your campus? My campus experience was that there were 5 sororities and 13 fraternities. A few of the fraternities were rather large but some were very small. I'm just wondering if, due to the expansion rules for sororities, you have smaller fraternity pledge classes on average but still a similar number of students.
