Finer Woman, again i agree there should be a cap, how to determine that fairly is another issue. However again knowing how it is at Howard and other Black Schools i've never seen your sorority have this problem so i don't see how you can really speak on it since it really doesn't seem to be an issue for Zeta.
Have you ever had over a hundred, two hundred, qualified women at your Rush seriously speaking and had to deal with this issue (I have). I think it is sad for line sisters to forget each other's names but 200 girls will not remember even that, all you will have is cliques within the group, but that happens on a line of 10, and even smaller lines know each others names, life history etc. but can not begin to show sisterly love twards one another, now that is sad too.
Sisterhood is something you have to work at no matter the number, if more women want to be your sister then you just have to work that much harder at bonding, I'm not saying Zeta doesn't have interested women but they do not and never have attracted as large of a following at Howard as do Delta or AKA (that's just a fact and i've seen the year books.)
Anyway after you graduate no one really cares, its all about the business, no one cares how long your line was or if you can remember all their names if you are not financial. In joining a sorority the sisterhood is not limited just to your undergraduate line sorors who many times disperse all across the nation after graduation. Older sorors told me and i have seen it to be true that our sister hood is life long and is has no boundries it only begins with undergrad.
Most of my line are all over the country and as much as i love each one of them, i would not trade my grad chapter sorors or sorors i've met in my area for anything in the world because our sisterhood has matured and goes beyond the yard at Howard, FAMU, Spellman, etc. it is world wide. So for those on larger lines then you would prefer, enjoy it and appreciate all those extra hands that help build that chapter, because in grad chapter you may find yourself wishing you had more sorors to help out.
hope this didn't offend you Finer Woman i do see your point. Its just easier to say what you will do then to do it if you've never done it.
