why do sororities have to have a quota?
by: Yes I'm an alum
On hearing the news that Theta is closing, I can't help but think that they would have been better off if they had been allowed (and encouraged) to take smaller pledge classes of girls. The current situation of 150-plus pledge classes is not the historical norm at all, and a sorority can do just fine financially with 50 to 70 pledges.
Some sororities are less popular, call it lower tier if you wish. Allowing these groups to choose to have smaller pledge classes would allow them to be more selective in who they take in, so after all is said and done the girls who join would be happy to be there and likely to stick around and the sorority might be able to improve in quality if not in numbers by being more selective.
Would it be a terrible thing if Ole Miss had some smaller sororities just as it has some mid-sized and smaller fraternities?

Actually the environment on campus isn't really toxic - although this site would certainly make you think it was. But then again, the Moms aren't on campus - but they sure are wearing this site out.

Wrong- you sound like a total snow flake with this “toxic environment” bs. What a joke. I have been here in the greek system for three years and I know nothing of this toxic environment of which you claim nor does anyone in my friend group. Grow up. Real life and Greek Rank aren’t remotely similar.

Okay Mom, a college student isn't going to throw out the 'snowflake' insult. When are you old ladies going to learn to act like grown ups and stop insulting and bashing college students and their sororities?

Last time I checked, expecting people to act better doesnt make anybody a snowflake. It just makes them a more human being than you, apparently.

What is even happening in this thread. “Why do sororities have quota” to even the playing field for PNMs, where as before the sororities (and just the most sought after) held just about all of the decision making power.
And then it turned into why didn’t anyone want to join theta? Well 90ish girls did want to join theta here, which is larger than some other schools chapter sizes so it’s not an issue of “no one” wanting theta. We shouldn’t even be having pledge classes this size it’s absurd.

That’s hilarious and not true because there are worse chapters of theta. For example, my friend from high school goes to the University of Delaware and Theta is their bottom tier. Like they’re like SDT here or at UT. If Theta was actually shutting down chapters they were ebarassed by (which by the way, how horrendous is that? I would not want to be a part of a national org like that...) there are plenty more Theta chapters before a historic chapter like Ole Miss or even Clemson that would go I imagine....

The difference is, Ole Miss and Clemson are much higher profile (especially Ole Miss).
