excerpt:
the 2008 recruitment class is predicted to be one of the largest in UA history.

"This is shaping up to be another record year for recruitment at the Capstone," said Gentry McCreary, director of greek affairs.

The Department of Greek Affairs at the University of Alabama predicts that more than 1,500 women and 900 men will pledge a greek organization in the fall.

In 2008, 20 percent of the UA student body belonged to one of the 54 greek organizations represented on campus.


I guess we'll see fairly soon, since Bama's NPC sorority recruitment kicks off in a month.

Edited to add: 1,500 women and 900 men: seems like a substantial disparity, but if that's what Greek life is like at Bama, so be it. Any insights about why so many more women than men are expected to go Greek there?
