Or they could give up out of frustration and weariness at trying to reach unattainable goals. Or their reputation takes a further hit because they try to do too much too quickly and fail.

I don't know about Daemon, but on many similar campuses Greek life is barely tolerated at best. They may have all they can handle just to double their numbers, particularly if what reputation they have has taken a major hit this past year. A realistic, workable and successful plan of action has to take into account the specific culture of the campus involved and of the Greek community involved.

For my money, I'd rather recruit five good, solid members in one semester than 20 warm bodies, half of whom you say will fall away in the first summer. The last thing they need is more people who aren't dedicated and won't hang on.
