My whole class takes pride in what hard work produces.

The girls now want everything handed to them on a silver platter. They don't realize it is more precious if it is earned.
Well said, as is the post by LoveMyKeyKKG. I heard of one chapter who, when they got painfully low in numbers, talked to their HQ and Greek Advisor, in one session. It turned out that there was a group of women (mostly on a team or friends of one of the women) who wanted to start a new sorority. By everyone putting their cards on the table, and everyone doing their best to get along and make the best of the situation, they quadrupled their size in one fell swoop!

As SigKap DAWG and LoveMyKeyKKG pointed out, it takes some work, good attitudes, and the desire to accomplish. Would that more chapters with small chapters used the ingenuity (and good fortune) of this one chapter!
