how many girls each house lost

Yeah I was surprised GPhi lost so few girls. I don’t buy into the fact that high retention = perfect sisterhood, but despite all the claims on here that they have sisterhood issues they clearly have much better retention than the other houses at the bottom on the GPA scale (and ADPi who has great grades and supposedly a strong sisterhood)

I don’t mean to throw my own house under the bus but there’s no way we have 424 actives. There’s just no way. I’m not saying they intentionally flubbed it but.. it’s not correct. More likely they’re just not keeping up with resignations well.

Makes me wonder how accurate all this really is, because the university kind of has to take our word for it.

Telling info here.

DZ and Zeta have always had retention issues from what I know. There’s a reason they always have spring PCs too

I literally said in the post that there are girls who graduate early and every house will have a few that drop. I also said it was obvious which houses clearly have more than that number.

My house has MAYBE five fall graduates every year... I think last year we had two. Most of what you see is not graduations. Transfers is more likely.

Sorry my math was wrong on alpha phi, the lost 185 but also had 12 COBs which means they lost 197 of what they started with. I accidentally added the 12 COBs twice I guess which is why I put 209!

Wow. Is anyone else like absolutely shocked that they went through and terminated nearly 200 girls??? Like that's just absurd to me. They literally got rid of half of their chapter.

Alpha phi had a huge percentage of girls who didn’t pay dues at all so I’m sure that was part of it. I bet there was some crossover between financial delinquency and low grades.

Active members are initiated members. Add active members and initiated members to get total members.

Sorry. Actives + new members = total members

I know DZ and Zeta had a lot of internal problems that created a lot of headaches for their members. My roommate is a DZ and she actually dropped after the fall semester because she just didn't like it anymore. She told me they had a lot of issues solidifying their exec board and that after their elections the newly elected president had to step down because of drama related issues... But ADPi? I genuinely haven't heard anything about them and they seem to be a pretty lowkey house. I really wonder what mustve happened for nearly 100 girls to drop/be dropped

^^^^

Campus Total is 355; if no APhis from that listed 285 number graduated all Alpha Phi need pin on bid day is at least 70 young women to make CT. Let's also remember there have been posts here on GR wailing against the huge numbers of women in our new member classes over the past decade, so perhaps lower NM numbers this fall will be the start of a beautiful and needed trend.

I also know girls who dropped after they cleaned house because most of their friends got kicked out so they figured they’d leave too

What I mean is that I don’t see their dues going up significantly (like people on here are implying) so I don’t imagine it will make a big difference.
Yes they have less girls, but a lot of expenses (food being one of the biggest costs in every houses dues I’m pretty sure) are proportionate to the number of girls, so they’re not going to be paying for food for 482 girls when they only have 297 actives. I don’t have any insider info, but I just don’t see their dues suddenly becoming the most expensive on the row

"If you can't afford dues going up then you probably couldn't afford greek life to begin with" is so rude, people wouldn't drop because they can't afford it they'd drop because they don't want to pay extra for an organization like alpha phi

It's not rude at all. It's a statement of fact. Dues and fees are going to increase each year - usually by less than 10% but possibly more. If you join a house and can barely pay the bill at the beginning, you're not going to be able to cover those yearly increases.

Tells you not to believe fake news in greek rank when people spew junk about some chapter’s sisterhood. Numbers don’t lie. The average natural mid year attrition is in the low twenties.

It wouldn't surprise me that an officer did a poor job. Which also means an advisor is doing a poor job because they're not helping train the officer and checking to make sure things are done.
The good thing is that when an officer does a bad job and causes problems, usually somebody in the chapter decides "enough of this crap, I'm going to do this right." They run for office get it, and all is well again.
