"Technically" Speaking

The presense of women has been increasing in the areas that were traditionally male: sciences, math, engineering, archieture. With this increase, Greek Life is seeing the rise of atleast three small national sororites designed to fulfill the needs of and provide sisterhood to some of these women. These sisterhoods are begining to encompass many fine women who probably would have shyed away from greek life. I'm only speaking from personal experience and my sisterhood. At the University of Oklahoma, few female engineering students we're greek. I knew one house of about a 100 girls, maybe about 5 of them were in engineering or sciences. I believe my suitmate said she was the only engineering major.

Which brings me to my question. With in your own sorority or greek life, do you have many technical majors? If its low or high, is it due more to level of commitment, or just not enough interest expressed from women in those majors.

For those that are interested the sororties that are technically geared that I'm aware of are: (yes i'm bias on the order)
Alpha Sigma Kappa - Women in Technical Studies
Alpha Omega Epsilon
Phi Sigma Rho

If you are aware of others let me know!
