The only place in the magazine I saw a reference to 120 chapters was in Tom Olver's 'From the Editor' column. I still believe the number is at 122, as 120 is just a reference. However, only about 88 of the 122 chapters are actually in good standing. They are more focused in steady growth while maintaining a high level of quality chapters across the board. The expansions should be compared to campus averages, not Beta's national average. The first issue an expansion has to deal with is recruitment, as it is the most pressing need. Also, chartering is not possible if numbers remain below the all-campus average. I don't believe there are any issues with expansions that are being sugarcoated.
