sorority numbers - for real
by: flh
Cut this from a previous thread.... This totally explains why the other threads about numbers is ridiculous.
"These numbers are irrelevant. One must consider WHY the drop in numbers... who went to nursing school, med school, graduated early, moved for personal or family reasons, personally facing a medical or financial crisis out of their control, possibly has a sick parent.... VERSUS who dropped their sorority because they didn't like it...
Come on people grow the F up. Life happens and people have to make changes in their current situations to adjust. A decrease in sorority numbers does not always indicate unhappiness or unrest in a chapter."

Now, now, don't get excited, if your sorority is in last place there are things you can do instead of crying on GR. The numbers are all relevant, every sorority has members who graduate early, went to nursing or medical school, had financial issues, etc. If your sorority is losing a higher percentage than others than maybe an effort should be made to find out why. Maybe find out if you have members who are struggling to find a place in the sorority, those are the ones you can help. Any sorority that loses members because they felt excluded really need to evaluate their sisterhood. Possibly look at your leadership and if they are addressing retention issues.
Keep in mind though, the sororities that are typically more OOS are going to have a greater loss due to members not adjusting to being so far from home. Maybe those sororities could evaluate how their sisterhood can help those students adjust.
