Female / Male Numbers in Greek System

[33girl]

All the SSHEPA schools have more women than men. It's been that way for a long long long time and I doubt if it will ever change.

On greakrenk, people were actually saying "we have to have an equal number of fraternities and sororities." They don't get it. But what's happening at WCU is so bizarre to me I don't even know where to start. Happily bizarre, but still bizarre.

At Washington University, the ladies have their stuff together. They are organized, responsible, and fun groups. They are not a risk management problem. The men have more problems and some of them are down right sketchy. They are a huge risk management problem.

I will be very, very blunt: I would be perfectly happy if my daughter wanted to join a sorority. I have serious questions about whether I want my sons to joint a GLO. I'm not sure what the guys are learning. Many male GLOs have a lot of risk management issues on many campuses.

^^But is there parity overall?

As much as our national HQs would love to believe that sororities can survive and thrive without fraternities, from my experience it just doesn't work that way. It seems that the competitiveness and cattiness among sororities gets worse. The other thing that happens is the sororities start having mixers with athletic teams and other groups that have zero in the way of risk management policies.
