I'm aware of that. I am simply saying that since there are chapters that have chosen to continue the traditionally Jewish route and even interest groups who have sought affiliation because of their desire to do the same, there is the potential that a chapter may not be able to achieve or sustain a specific membership level due to external circumstances. So you could potentially have initiated members of a chapter that never charters since you do initiate before chartering. So those two factors can be related, that's all I'm saying. This is all theoretical and I only brought it up since AEPhi was mentioned previously.
