Informal recruitment at Michigan State? What happened?

[Sciencewoman]

TriDeltaSallie, I also live in West Michigan and I haven't heard anything about MSU chapters struggling. I just spent time with our MSU chapter advisor and 5 collegian attendees at the Gamma Phi convention and there wasn't a word mentioned about numbers being down with any houses. I know our chapter is doing fine. I did hear some discussion about fall recruitment dates being moved back...perhaps there's more interest from PNMs later in the year??? I'm not sure the Michigan economy is having the effect people might think: Gamma Phi Beta is colonizing at GVSU this fall; Panhellenic numbers went up 56% there between 2007-2009, and were up again last fall. Total is going up by 10 and we're the second colonization in two years.
