Data

If you really, really want to find that out, you have to dig around but if you compare the semester scholarship reports you will find it. All you have to do is compare the end of one semester's Total membership with the beginning of the next semester's Active membership. Here is an example using ADPi (I used them because they were at the top and easy to see, I AM NOT AN ADPi) Fall 2022: Active Members 182 (start of fall before recruitment) Total Members 266 (end of fall after recruitment/COB) Spring 2023: Active Members 253 (start of spring) Total Members 260 (end of spring with COB) So you can see that 13 of ADPi members did not return after fall semester, and they took 7 new members in spring. Losing members is a combination of graduation (there are always December grads), members studying abroad or interning, and drops. Drops don't necessarily mean someone did not like their sorority; most often there are family issues back home, transfers to other schools, or financial issues. The numbers vary every semester from house to house, so you actually need to look at three years worth of data to see a trend. With all that said, the sororities do the choosing and they decide who to invite back from round to round. Your ranks are secondary and you can't pre-pick a house. Also, objective data is not nearly as important as gut feelings in recruitment. This can't be said enough. Go with your gut, not with numbers.
