[PhoenixAzul]

Our greatest strength is the ability to recognize and utilize the individuality of each and every member. Our motto is "To thine own self be true." We don't scout for 4.0 Rhoades Scholar pageant queens or any other "type", we don't have a "type" at all...we scout for girls who stand out in recruitment, who would "ruffle feathers" in other chapters. We're a house full of feather rufflers.Our girls contribute some wacky and wonderful ideas and talents (example...one of our girls is a semi-pro Hula dancer...from Dayton OH). Our girls have belching contests, farting contests, they comein all shapes and sizes and hair colors, they speak different languages, they go to different churches or no church at all, they speak different, act different, and ARE different. The common ground that binds us though is Tau Delta.

We may not take quota every year or any year in recent history, but the 8, 9, 10 girls we take, are QUALITY members and pull way more than their own weight. With a small chapter, we know that our contribution really counts, and that we can't afford to have anyone drop the ball, thinking that someone else will take care of it. Our attrition is very low. What some people may see as a membership "Struggle", we don't see as a struggle at all. We complete all the functions of all the other chapters with sometimes half or a quarter of the members. Example...during recruitment, when we had 16 girls active, we never once missed a recruitment sign up table shift. Most of those shifts, the other sorority would forget to send someone. We do what we have to do with what we have.

What else do we do well, aside from having a kick-ass sisterhood?

Uhh...even with 24 members, we still have never been in the red. EVER.
