Hmm...I did a search for "charter members" but nothing like this came up. You would know better than me, though.
I was the third member of a local sorority created to become nationally affiliated. Our school wouldn't let the NPC come and build a chapter from the ground up; the chapter had to be "student-driven" and thus a local before that. We had 19 charter members. The 15 of us left in the fall held our first panhellenic recruitment with Gamma Phi Beta, and we recently initiated 13 amazing girls! 28 members on our campus is a pretty good size. We'll definitely grow a lot more in the next few years - probably at least 45 by the end of the year.
Although I love paving the way for future girls in our chapter, I wish we had a lot of the traditions older chapters have. OH, how I wish we did lavaliering! *sigh* Maybe someday! It is nice to make our own decisions and not become TTWWADIs. ("That's the way we always do it"...I love that acronym.)
