We both went to schools in FL but it is clear that we had vastly different experiences. That is proof enough.

I'd love to know where you get your statistics. Meanwhile, I'll keep my opinions as they are.

I know that my sorority magazine has had SEVERAL articles (some by members and some outlining things that were discussed in national Panhel meetings) about the increase in non-traditional students and that we need to find ways to reach them, as well as open our minds to what "collegiate sorority membership" is supposed to be like.

If you want to play ostrich, though, that's up to you.

An unspecified "increase" is not a majority.

Now back to your regularly scheduled "what are my chances" thread.

Wow- Let me just commend ASA (am I correct?) on publishing this. I wish ALL sororities would. It's going to be important in the upcoming years. Students are going to stop coming in these "neat little packages" all the time and I think all chapters should be prepared to rise to the challenge rather than cower waiting for more 18 year-olds to show up. My institution is majority transfer and we handle it quite well.

Yes you are correct, and thank you.
