I agree with about 90% of what you have said. However, what makes you think that the Zetas or SGRhos were struggling for anything? Believe it or not sometimes its not in the best interest of the organization to have a large membership. Unless you are a member of said organization, "the stuggle" is not known. Its all a matter of perspective. I have struggles with agencies cooperating in the community to get needed services to disadvantaged/disenfranchised people. But membership...that's not a struggle.
And granted if you are not in an organization that has a small contingent this may actually be hard to really understand the benefits. There are both pros and cons to a small membership as well as a large membership. I caution you in stating what you may THINK is "the need/struggle".
From my experience being in a chapter that grew from 18 to 31 active members and then we decided to take in 5... people were shocked. I say all of this to say, its possible and (USUALLY LIKELY) that the chapter has made a decision regarding growth and sisterhood. Again, it all comes down to what is the priority. And that priority is established by the respective organization...not a member of another organization or interests/propectives.
