The number of first-year women rushing sororities is up 10 percent from last year at the University of Richmond, said Alison Keller, who has been the director of Greek Life for the past 27 years. "This year, 56 percent of first-year women are registered and last year there were 46 percent," Keller said. Female students were required to register and attend sorority interest socials, which acquainted them with the Greek system at Richmond. Keller attributes the increase in sorority interest to the sororities' ability to lead, encourage, be philanthropic and embody sisterhood, she said. Women find out their bids, or sorority offers of membership, the week after returning from winter break. "It is a mutual selection process," Keller said.
