I say...about effing time.

Total should have probably gone from 40 to 35 to 30, but the fact of the matter is the groups haven't made total in YEARS (from what you've told us) and undoubtedly their HQs are wondering what's up. HQs only know you don't make total. They often don't know it hasn't been changed since Nixon was in office, or that the complexion of the campus changed from residential to commuter, and so on and so forth. It SUCKS to keep not making total, even if you know the total is unrealistic, and it lowers your reputation with your HQ.

The groups can all get to total now and be secure instead of feeling the constant need to compete with each other. This will ease any trash talking or backbiting going on on the campus. This will present a better picture of Greek life to non-Greeks and potential rushees and most likely make more women want to get involved.

And I'd maybe edit some of your posts about your GA. You never know who is reading this. Personally, I applaud her for taking the bull by the horns instead of letting everyone continue to flounder.
