I don't think its a matter of trying to have more quantity i think its just plain old Demand. I know at Howard the AKA's and Delta's always have many more interested ladies than do Zeta's or Sgrho's. Therefore it is not susprising that their lines are larger and Zeta and Sgrho lines are extremely small even at a HBC. I do however agree with you on the cap issue, but that is not an easy task when so many qualified women are interested in these two prestigious organizations, particulary at HBC. Black Schools will always have larger lines then do White Schools for obivious reasons. There were over 300 girls that attended the rush for the line of 128 that came back to the yard after a 4 year suspension just "fyi". The final decision of how many are taken is at the discretion of the governing body and they take into consideration many factors (including money i hate to say). Deltas and AKA's at Howard always have huge lines because they always have over a hundred girls attending their interest meetings (not every sorority has that many interested women) and it is a predominantly black university vs a white university where blacks are not huge in attendance. It is possible however to bond as a larger line that is the responsibility of each line sister. These sororities have a greater demand for membership then do others so they must make it happen, no EXCUSES. I think all things are relative to the type of organization one is interested in. Some sororities will never have a need to limit their intake of members while others will always have a long line of interested ladies just waiting for the chance to gain membership. I'm glad so many women are interested in my organization
i don't see that as a problem.
