Do you think this might be why some GLOs have been closing more chapters than opening lately?

I have a theory that GLOs are moving in this direction to bring in a new kind of rushee- specifically someone who is just as into good grades, philanthropy and gentlemanly behavior as they are into having a good time. Granted many of us were already like that- I like to think I was- but certainly rush as I have observed it among many houses was not geared that way in the past.

If a GLO can sweep in with an aggressive campaign and practically overnight build a chapter more in line with the ideals and balance expected by HQ and alumni, then I don't see the incentive for a GLO to take the long route with an existing chapter that is resisting change, or to allow a colony to take off on its own without much guidance- and risk unwanted patterns setting in early.
