Curious Mom too! My experience at a different school was that by senior year sorority life was "less important". Freshman and sophomore years certainly the peak. As you noted, other social outlets and friends from classes/major as well as internships and study abroad started to limit sorority time. That being said, the cost of staying active was not as notable for me. I would love for my daughter to stay active, but if her upperclass experience mirrors mine, it would be very hard to justify the thousands of dollars of expense. Not a matter if we could, but does it make sense. I am sure this will upset some, but you can tell by the numbers allot of girls are thinking this way. I also have read here that some houses claim high retention. In general, the houses are more similar than different - they all recruit about 150 memebers each year to maintain total membership at just over 400. Some may have a slight edge, but hardly notable or significant. And relative to grad pictures, I've often thought the same thing. Very few girls and kind of sad. \n\n\n\n\n
