Greek Participation Dropping at Utah

[preciousjeni]

The number of students participating in Greek Row has fallen almost every year for the past 20 years.

The National Panhellenic Conference-the governing body of 26 national sororities-has recommended that U greeks modify their recruiting strategies, but greeks are still hesitant to change.

Last November, in accordance with suggestions from the governing body, the out-going presidents of the sororities voted to change recruitment rules from a fully structured system to a partially structured system.

In a fully structured system, potential members are asked to attend an event every night during the second week of school.

The new approach required less time commitment in order to be more compatible with potential members' schedules.

Then, in January, the new presidents voted to change it back.
