Retention

Poster Message:
Only someone from each sorority would be able to tell us the exact size of each pledge class now versus on their bid day. The best way to judge retention at this point is by how many girls each house took last year and then again this year. The houses that took less girls last year had fewer spots open because they retain more girls. Houses that took more lost more girls. To be clear, every house loses members at some point of the 4 years a girl could be in a sorority and there are multitudes of reasons, including going to another school, like nursing after 2 or 3 years, or graduating early...it is not always a bad thing. I know my sorority had about 10 girls from one pc go to nursing school at one time so it might look like 10 girls dropped but that's not the reality. TYPICALLY the big 4 have the highest retention which is why the pledged lower numbers and the other 4 were allowed to take more girls to ty and balance out the numbers.
