That seems to have run its course.

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.

They use Greek letters. Not that hard too figure out.

It’s a lot less expensive to go Greek at Arkansas than other schools.

+1 I think this is more it--look at the rolls, in many Greek orgs there were a lot more sophomore and juniors rushing.

My DD is currently in work week before sorority rush next week and the potential new members have dropped from 800 last year to just under 600 this year.
Her good friend at the University of Alabama said there was 3300 last year and this year this were only 2800 PNMs registered by the deadline.
For those of you with children in Greek life, what are they seeing at their schools?
It is interesting for my sophomore daughter going through the process now on the other side.
