I think that the not fitting happens at alum chapters too, and I think that way too many times, rather than everyone working together, people either 1) drop out of being involved completely or 2) start a new chapter when it would be better to have one big strong one rather than a bunch of smaller ones. #2 drives me nuts, but it might just be something specific to my GLO.

I do know this happens, but I think it is too rare to penalize sisters who should have all the rights and responsibilites afforded to every other sister. My campus was known as a feeder to LSU since we all know that recruitment can be hell. Phi Mu and Kappa Delta chapters at my school were frequently claimed to be victims of this activity, but after four years at this school, I cannot recall a single person that anyone could actually name who did this.
