But the interest in women's social groups is not confined to the Greek system.
The Seneca, the women's club founded last year, held a month-long application process in the fall for its first round of prospective members and currently boasts a membership of 43.
Although they had planned on repeating the application process this semester, the club voted to postpone it until next fall.
"A lot of the new members felt we needed to consolidate and get to know each other better," Seneca Co-President Alexandra B. Seru '01 says.
Even the Bee--which feared its lack of a house facility might discourage prospective members--has never drawn so many new members.
According to Bee Alumni Coordinator Caroline J. Keany '01, half of the club's 60 members joined this fall.
"People know about us more because we've grown as a presence," she says. "People who were hesitant at first became increasingly interested."
