I agree with Hoosier, go for 75 (or more). We have had a piss poor rep at Mizzou over the years and the chapter was small,
under 60 men. One of the reasons Pike is doing so well in their
reactivations is that they simply come in with SIZE, or to be p.c.
"presence" and I assume these are quality men. TKE has many good chapters in MO and most have 'presence.' We need a 100
man group. Our revival failures have all been due to failure to get
enough men, then depart leaving them floundering as neophytes.
Missouri is a great greek school....no reason we have to have a weenie chapter...so let's not shoot ourselves in the foot anew.
You simply do not cut it, any way you look at it, with LESS than
a hundred man chapter in the "old big eight" school, and this'd
be true with the "old big ten" ones, too. The streetcar schools, the ones without houses...well, that's a different scenario.
We have lost sight of our original goals in revivals, and we need to get back on track. I predict a failure here, again, unless we get
to crackin' size-wise. You MUST have a nice house at Mizzou and
you do not get a nice one, cannot afford it, with less than 100 men in the chapter...not all live ins...'go get 'em, they are there.
