It's already been well documented within the University and the leaders of the greek community that numbers are down.
Talking with the other greeks, there are a few general theories SDSU greeks have:
1)The thing with the cultural GLOs.
2)Most of the parties are open, no lists, no greeks only, no special invites. This has caused a lot of randoms to think "why should I go through all the trouble of pledging a fraternity when I can party there any time and not have to join." Sure one can say "well who would want those people anyway?", but that is a substantial amount of people.
3) Apathy. SDSU has gotten really apathetic the last decade, and the University hasn't done much to change it. They want to get out of this "party school" reputation and be more academic. Well, there are many "party schools" that have excellent academic programs. There's really no reason to have to eliminate one for the other, when it's been shown that the two can work together at a school.
The biggest issues lately within the powers that be on campus are mascots, renaming landmarks on campus, and raising fees for things that will not help us or show any impact for us current students.
I think the overall attitude on campus has changed and the greek community has suffered.
Sorry to preach, but those are some reasons I've heard greeks say.
