Anecdotal only but it seems inflation affecting Greek life recruitment

I am more inclined to agree with the posters thinking it's about Covid

However, I am grateful that neither of our children are interested in joining Greek life, and both are at schools where that doesn't matter. Paying for friends, and going through hazing (aka, risking your life), so not worth it.

This still gives me nightmares.

not going to argue with you anti greek people, yet again on this board because it does not matter a lick to me what your kids decide to do. BUT my kids are both greek (sorority and fraternity) and neither was hazed in anyway, certainly nothing life threatening or even close. My DS was never even drunk during his pledging, never pressured to drink or do anything he didn't think was fun. You can't paint the whole greek system with the same brush.

It’s completely out of vogue. The only kids I know interested in Greek life are, for lack of a better term, losers. Kids who have to pay to make friends.

It’s also simply not seen as a “cool” thing anymore among the newest generation.

ADPi is an actual sorority. That was uploaded several years ago from school in Texas.

Just when I think it wouldn't be so bad for my daughter to join a sorority, I see something like this... the stuff of nightmares.

It's cheaper to be in a frat at my kid's school because the off-campus housing is less expensive than other options and the dues aren't high.

Oh. It was several thousand dues alone at mine in the 90s. No housing. I guess it depends on the school.

Wow. That’s ridiculous.

They look like they scanned one girl, then made the rest with a 3D printer.

Have you talked to anyone under the age of 30? No one thinks it’s “cool”. Get over it, Hitler Youth Hillary.
