As long as those 25 new members didn't put the chapter over campus total, I say more power to them and to heck with the whiners in the other chapters.

You didn't say whether or not the other chapters on campus are nationals, locals or regionals. I'm going to hazard a guess and say that they are locals or regionals - because I can't imagine any NPC group allowing this kind of dismal recruitment result to continue for any period of time. I could be wrong, but I hope not.

Feel free to PM me about this, but my thoughts are that the admininstration needs to take a long hard look at the other groups on campus and institute some major reforms. It sounds like the hazing is so ingrained, I don't know if anything short of complete chapter recolonization and constant supervision for a couple of years will make a difference.

The national group (I assume it's a chapter of DPhiE?) just needs to stay very visible on campus and keep a good attitude. The more women that see happy, non-hazed sisters, the better it will be for everyone, including that chapter's reputation.
