The fraternity needs ‘J.r> live
in members just to brink even,
but Theta Chi president Dan
Mc Ken/ie said his fraternity
has so f.ir been able to meet
that quota
While drops m membership
have not always resulted in
higher fees, the decline has
made the University's I’anhel
lemc and Interfraternity cioun
i ils mm erned enough to devcd
op plans to reverse the trend
l-or the First time in several
years, the 1‘anhellenic Caium.il
is organizing an all sorority
spring term rush this year to in
crease recruitment of new
members Normally, the coun
c il only organizes that type cd
event during the fall term
Wi' need llii* numbers lo
keep ,i strong system," said
brm Wiesner, who works with
the I'unhollenir ('uuni il "We
want to iittr.nl a strong i ore
leadership in the greek sys

I he do iston to hold spring
term rush i.arne after the Uni
versity sorority system lost ftfi

of last year
Wiesner said she llojn-s new
national I’.inhellerm (lount.il
regulations that limit the msls
associated with rush will also
make the sorority system more
art essihle to University worn
on
Among other things, the reg
illations set a telling on the
amount of money sororities t ail
spend on rush activities and
discourage the |nirt hase of spe
cial rush outfits
Wiesnrr said the group hr
I irvi'S the del line in greek
membership tins year corners
from thr decline in University
enrollment Between full 1990
and fall 1991. the University
lost 1.500 students
Measure 5 has hurt a lot of
people here." she said A lot
of those people (who left the
system) transferred out of this
si hod
liven though sorority mem
bership is down, the percentage
of University women going
through rush (about .10 percent)
has stayed about the same
throughout the past live years,
said Shelley Sutherland, essis
lent director of student devel
opment
Like the sororities. University
fniternilies have also seen a
drop in membership In
torlratornity Qiuncil President
Steve Hinkle said although the
University has added two new
houses since 1UH7. campus fra
ternities have lost about 200
members during the same pert
od
Measure Is hitting us just
as hard as anyone else on cam
pus." he said "We lost mem
bers because they couldn't uf
forti It) go to tins University
anymore."
To combat the decline in
members, fraternities have boon
holding informal rush during
winter and spring terms for the
past three years, in addition to
formal rush fall term
For informal rush, the (rater
nlties usually have their pledge
classes invite friends to their
houses The now men then
have a chance to see if they
would like to pledge or not.
I'he Inierfruternity Council
also tried to int rease member
ship in < utting rush costs
Although sororities still
charge women S4f> to go
through rush, the fraternities
decider! to drop their S:i5 fee
this year Hinkle said he didn't
think it was fair for men to
have to pay a fee pist to see if
they want to join a fraternity
The council also heir! a draw
ing for a S170 tuition scholar
ship tins term for all men who
partir ipated in spring rush
In addition, Hinkle said Ira
tnrnilies have also tried to dis
pel myths many men believe
about the greek system, such as
that it is more expensive to live
in a house than in the dorms
Another myth the groups
have been trying to combat is
the notion that greek students
don't get good grades Mike
Zook, who works with the In
terfraternitv Council, said stu
dents are often surprised to
learn that some fraternities'
members average a 2 <i CPA,
the same average CPA of non
greek students
Although the greek system
may he having tough times
right now, Zook said he has
faith that fraternities and so
rorities will have a place on the
University campus for some
time to come
"It'll stay.'' he said "Hut
