Sororities are intended enhance the college experience for college woman as well as help develop them for the real world. However, on rare occasions sororities risk the chance of having their charter taken away and being kicked off campus. This can be the result of any number of reasons. The most common reason is when sororities are caught hazing their new members or drinking alcohol at an event when they aren’t supposed to.
At Florida Atlantic University this week one particular sorority announced that they would no longer be retuning to FAU as a chapter next year. This organization did not break the rules or get in trouble for any reason but rather, they failed to recruit the minimum amount of girls required to stay on campus.
Every recruitment for the past three years they have not recruited more then seven girls per year. The total amount of girls the other sororities recruit per year is 20. The amount of girls in a chapter is called Quota, when that number goes below 40, it is called “under quota.” Despite their attempts this past spring to recruit more girls, their numbers were still not high enough. As a result, their charter will be taken away at the end of the school year.
