There's some interesting information from the Greek Life office that people should question. #1. What was campus total for Fall 2023? From the looks of it, every sorority did informal recruitment except one. But if total was set properly, even if it was set at Largest Chapter Size plus 5, even the largest chapter could only take 5 NMs in the Fall. On a campus with a Greek System the size of Maryland, that likely WOULD NOT be the recommendation for total. But knowing that number is important. #2. If 1/3rd of PNMs are dropping out before the end of recruitment, there are two issues that could be at play. The first is that women just aren't happy with their final choices and choose not to join. That option seems less likely. The second issue is that sororities are telling women "hey, we know we are going to have open spots after formal recruitment, so just drop out and we'll COB you." It HAS happened at other large Greek schools, and it is destroying their system as well. #3. Looking at the historical numbers of SK, Between 2020 and 2022, their membership dropped considerably. Almost as if they didn't recruit any NMs for a whole year. In the same time period, ADPi grew by over 50 members! In Fall 2020, SK was at 105, and in Fall 2022, SK was at 80. In Fall 2020, ADPi was at 65, and in Fall 2022, ADPi was at 111. That's a BIG OLD SWING. #4. No national sorority with a house wants to close a chapter at a flagship university. SK is struggling, but there is absolutely room for them to right the ship. If they're smart, they'll come in and help restore this chapter. ADPi proved it can be done.
