1. Greek life has a bad name in the media. Just this past year, there have been so many scandals across the nation that paint Greek life in a bad way.
2. It's expensive. I think that's the biggest deterrence for people. There are a ton of people who want to go Greek but simply can't justify spending 4,000-6,000 in just one semester. Just for rush, you have to spend hundreds of dollars, if not thousands, between signing up, buying clothes, shoes, etc.
3. Greek life at UA has peaked. We saw the largest rush class in UA and national history in 2016. We simply can't keep increasing the size of sorority life here.

from what i've seen, frats usually have a problem with too many guys wanting bids. i know some higher ranked new row univ blvd houses have half their pledge classes filled out by the beginning of summer.

Oh also, something worth mentioning is I'm pretty sure the 2018 freshman class is smaller than it has been in the past 2 years. Not sure but that's just what I've heard. If it's true, then it's a direct correlation to lower registration numbers.
Also, I know the 2018 freshman class also has higher test scores than any previous freshman class... UA might be starting to drift away from admitting a high volume of "OOS party students" and they're starting to get a lot of really smart applicants with their hefty scholarship opportunities which again is a direct correlation to lower numbers.
