I understand what you all are saying, and that it's unfair to the bigger chapter, but how could we work it out to help the smaller chapters recruit more women? Coming from a small chapter (~50) at a school of huge chapters(most 100-150+), it's almost impossible to compete with these chapters, and due to this, our chapter closed. We couldn't pledge quota during FR, nor could we reach total through COB. Quota and total have both risen significantly recently, despite attempts to keep it downfrom us and our Greek Advisor, because it is a vote from all chapters. The solution in this case (of high total and quota), is NOT to add another sorority to keep down total so chapters can have real sisterhood, because if one chapter is struggling now adding another sorority would just worsen the problem, and either make the small chapter smaller, or both the small chapter and the new chapter small. What is the answer though? Allow the small chapter to close, sadly enough, and move on, add another GLO like the problem never existed?
