Greek life at WVU is getting larger every year, with more girls going through recruitment, and therefore larger pledge classes. There are 16 IFC fraternities and 8 Panhellenic sororities. There are 2 fraternities colonizing in the Fall and (if rumors are true) another sorority colonizing in the spring of next year.
WVU is similar to JMU in the fact that it is growing. In 2011, around 400 girls went through recruitment. In 2012, the number went up to 600 and already even more girls are signed up for Fall 2013 semester. However, the class of 2016 was the school's largest in history, so the school itself is also expanding. Very few people have recs here, but they will definitely help you (they helped me!) Recruitment here is more competitive than it has been in the past, but it is still nothing like it has been in the past. Every sorority took around 40 girls in the fall. Though that may seem like many girls got dropped, it seemed that most girls actually chose to drop out because they did not get invited back to the houses they wanted (everyone I know who did not end up going Greek dropped out for this reason).
Though I do not know much about JMU's Greek life, it sounds that both WVU and JMU are similar in the ways that they both are growing and becoming larger and larger on campus. I would recommend visiting both campuses and seeing which one you feel more comfortable in. I know this was posted about a month ago, but I hope I'm not too late!
