I think you're opening yourself up to disaster if you take on a group of girls from the chapter. If it was just like 2 or 3, okay, but anymore and you're really risking your group being totally taken over.

That's what I was trying to say, but just didn't know how to say it right :)

If they are being closed for low numbers I see no problem with taking the ones your chapter likes. You don't have to take all of them. If they are being closed for other violations then I probably would not take any of them.

I am still confused why they have to DA to become a member of the local. They can be Alums of the NPC and pledge your local, unless your bylaws state differently. It makes me sad that they may believe that they have to DA when they really don't. I wouldn't want to give something up completely that was once such a large part of my life.

I don't think that they have to, I was just under the impression that the ones that did DA wanted to join our local. I haven't heard anything about the ones that went alumnae by choice.

There aren't any bylaws regarding members being alumnae in another sorority and then joining ours sorority in our constitution, HOWEVER we are Associates of Panhellenic so we aren't just another student organization. It's just not something that really happens on our campus. Partly because when members go alumnae, they have graduated.
