On some campuses, the reputation is never overcome, and national ends up pulling that chapter off campus. I have seen that happen to at least three sororities on one campus within a 20 year span. At my campus, where over 800 girls go through rush for just 8 sororities, it seems impossible to imagine that anyone can't make quota. However, there is a sorority that has been there for years and years yet rarely makes quota. Two other newer houses are doing much better than this old, established one. I guess the lesson is that reputation IS important and it is crucial that actives conduct themselves appropiately, as well as pledge girls, who can carry on and maintain the high standards set forth by their founders. Because once you have tipped the scales the wrong way, it is very difficult to straighten them up - not impossible, just difficult.
