And some times people conclude that the beneficial things that happen are a reflection of their own merit rather than any other force in action as well.
ETA: I don't mean to suggest that present members don't contribute to the success of their chapters. Of course they do. But the complete experience of being in a chapter may not be totally within the chapter's control. This is true for the bad chapters that lose members and for the good chapters that keep them. Consider only which socials a chapter might have for an example. How much control does the new pledge class have over which who will have mixers with them? How much change can be made in the average active member period, positive or negative?
