zeta retention issues?
by: Question
Where is this rumor that Zeta has retention issues coming from? I've seen this claim pop up when Zeta has been compared to both Alpha Phi and KD but according to the PHA website, in Spring 2014 Zeta had 280 members while KD had 274 and Alpha Phi only had 256.
Let's be clear about something, the only houses in our Greek system with retention issues are Sigma and Phi Mu. Sigma had 200 girls, about 100 less than the other houses and Phi Mu only had 218. Alpha Phi had the next lowest number with 256.
There are plenty of reasons not to like Zeta I'm sure, but there's no reason to claim they have bad retention because it's clearly not true. Yes, they COB every Spring semester, but so does Phi Mu and Sigma. If Zeta really had trouble holding onto to members they would be closer to the 200 mark.

Sweetie, the numbers reported are after they had COBed. When your house has to COB 20 girls in one semester that is a red flag, and yes that is on the Greek life website. They lose a lot of girls and have to COB to keep their numbers ups that's why people say they have bad retention, because a lot of their new members drop.

Then why does such a high number of zeta members drop? You don't see that in mid tier or top tier houses. There's obviously something else going on

by: Drop numbers?
Where are you finding the number for the amount of women that have dropped Zeta? Because the numbers aren't on the PHA website so at this point it's all heresy. All I'm seeing is Zeta having the same number of girls in house that all the other houses do.

Go to my Greek life sorority grades. It shows house totals AND new member totals for spring 2014. Zeta is listed as having 20 new members. Now back the eff off zeta you're done.

Alright. But OP like said, Sigma and Phi Mu also COB every semester, even more than 20 girls a semester probably, they have almost eighty to one hundred fewer girls than normal houses on campus. Zeta might have some issues keeping members but nobody seems to be mentioning the crazy number of girls Phi Mu and Sigma are losing as well.
Sigma is almost a full pledge class behind every other house numbers wise. THAT is a problem with retention, not Zeta.
