Change is not always easy! Once I got a job (i know, not the same) because the boss wanted someone who was good at looking at problems and finding solutions and the program that I worked for needed that. The problem was that the people who worked there before i started were not interested in change and I basically accomplished nothing.
Plus, when searching for colleges I was always told go to a college that has what you want, and don't go to a college that might start what you want. So, with that idea I think young freshman woman would want to choose a group that already has the things that they wanted rather than think that they MIGHT make changes to a group and turn it into something that they wanted. I guess my thought is that if the chapter is not doing certain things then why would they already start? Maybe people joined that group because they did not do those certain activities, so if someone went in with the attitude of I can make a change, like i did with my job, they might soon learn that they have little ablitiy to make changes.
I am talking about say a choice between a "large" sorority that does things like cruises and fun philanthropy activities, rather than a "small" chapter that is known for being small and does not do the activities that the "larger" chapters do. I am viewing this from my own experience at my university when I was a student, so this might not apply to every senerio.
