It's a well written article and no, I don't believe the BS about Sorority and Fraternity recruiting. Less then 20% of our students even participate in Frat/Sorority functions let alone join them.

Fraternity and sorority recruitment requires actives and PNMs to not consume alcoholic beverages, even if you're over 21 and disallows girls (both greek and nongreek) from official rush events.
So why spend the money to have a tailgate, drive the supplies over from Temple Terrace to Ray Jay, just to have a dry tailgate, with no girls, and to watch your team lose. If you're an PNM and you go to a dry tailgate with no girls, but heard your buddy had a good time at the KSig house watching the game on TV where he had some beers with the guys, away from USF administrators and officials, who do you think the PNM is going to want to join?
Moreover, less than 20% of USF's population is Greek, but guarantee that Greek students make up ROUGHLY 50% of your student section, UCF's, FAU's student section, and every other mid major student section in the nation. There's a correlation between student section attendance and the size & strength of a school's greek community.
That being said, I grew up a USF fan. Born in Carrollwood, raised in Wesley Chapel. I love Collin and VooDooFive. I wish FAU has committed fans & journalists like him.
