just wondering

Which is why we need to stop allowing more and more sororities join our community. None of the "newer" chapters have been very successful and now more and more chapters are falling behind. KD was once a strong mid tier chapter, but ever since sigma and sk got here their grades has fallen, involvement dropped, and have had to cob to keep members. The new houses are hurting zeta too. Zetas always been a bottom tier house, but now with sk here they had a disappointing rush and continue to have retention problems. We need to focus on helping these chapters before we can begin to add more chapters to our community

You're right that we have more fraternities than sororities but the size of each is dramatically smaller. A big fraternity has about 120 members, while an average sorority has close to 300. Also a higher percentage of girls enrolled at mizzou are in greek life than guys, so there goes that theory. The fraternity system isn't weak for being smaller, it provides ,men a tight nit brotherhood where people actually know everyone in the house on a personal level, unlike in sororities where most girls barely know half of their "sisters".

It sounds like the new houses aren't the problem. If the new houses were bad then they would fail and be removed from campus. If Zeta and KD are failing it's because girls have more options and aren't forced to join those houses anymore.

Sorry I responded to the wrong post

Sororities attract the drunks that show up to our parties. I don't know what makes you think fraternities don't attract the best and brightest. All over Mizzou the majority of the men representing MSA and all the other important mizzou organizations are in fraternities

Gosh, I don't know. Maybe it's because two-thirds of fraternities have GPAs below the all university average while EVERY Panhell sorority is above the all university average.

The best and the brightest in fraternities? Hardly. Most of my sorority sisters were so over frat bros by the end of sophomore year.
