Exactly. The alums need to get over it and realize it isn't like it used to be when they were in school. As for the Greek advisor, he/she needs to realize that even if they came from a school where 200 (or 100, or 50) member chapters were the norm, not all schools are like that. Being part of a small chapter is NOT what makes the sorority experience unpleasant - it's being part of a small chapter and continually being pressured to make it a large chapter.
Not to mention, I'm assuming the mens' groups are similarly smaller than they used to be - and no girl wants to go to a mixer and have it be 3 sisters to every guy.
If housing isn't an issue, and you decide (example) 10 is a suitable number for total for your campus...honestly, that's your prerogative. Don't let anyone buffalo you otherwise.
