I do agree with the guys somewhat - I never minded being in a "smaller" chapter, preferred it and it was the deciding factor in the group I chose. I know I'm not alone in that. I would like if the national HQ's could understand that and not push so hard for numbers. (I am, of course, NOT talking about a situation where you have a 60 person house to fill. That's a whole other kettle of fish.)
But I am glad we had the rush setup that we did, because I think it helped a lot of women discover that the "top" houses weren't where they would have been happiest. There were a lot of women who saw the "top" groups on campus....said "I want to be part of that"...then were with them one to one at a rush party and couldn't wait to leave - often going to houses they hadn't thought about before rush, and loved after rush. If those women had gone through "guy-style" rush and only went to the houses they "thought" they wanted, they would have probably been turned off to the greek system altogether.
Like I said before, the rules as written work really well, but there is the occasional panhel that makes a mess of the whole thing. Just because your school might have their head up their butt don't condemn the whole system.
