So if their HQ were to close the chapter for numbers related reasons, there would probably be another Jewish interest group form shortly after, maybe they'd affiliate with an NPC, and then the cycle could start all over again if the HQ were not satisfied with having fewer members than the rest of the chapters. The demand for a Jewish chapter may not be as big as other schools, but the demand will always be there.

As long as SDT at Bama is financially stable, the members are happy, and they are a contributing, active member of the Panhellenic community at Bama, that's what really matters, and it's good that SDT HQ realizes that.

SDT at Bama is our Rho chapter, which also plays a large role in our HQ doing all it can to keep the chapter open. Since I've been a sister (May 2003) I've seen them do a number of things to help out the chapter. I'm really hoping that the chapter can get its numbers up, but I hope that no matter what our HQ stick with them and doesn't close the chapter.
