You are right in that quality is more important than quantity, but by not concentrating on expansion we are not growing. Growth is the key to success. A fraternity in a way is like a business-the most successful attract the best people.
I really don't think that our Fraternities approach is doing that. When you say that you feel that the AO doesn't prepare you enough for recruitment, I tend to think that the AO is holding your hand too much and not giving you enough responsibility in self survival and learning.
I don't expect to open 20 chapters a year, but opening less than you are closing is a sure way to failure.
I also think that the amount of money spent on leadership schools and that sort of thing is a waste. I've been to a few of them, and it's not anything new or anything that a person with common sense shouldn't already know. Spend that money on recruitment instead of these stupid confrences.
I don't have a problem with someone trying their hardest out of love for my Fraternity-but I certainly won't say that they are doing the right thing when I think it's wrong or not working.
