I don't know the 2 schools. How geographically close are they? Unless they are right in each other's pockets I would think they would continue to be treated as separate schools. But if the students really will be 100% combined going to classes evenly between one "side" and the other (Urbana-Champaign), then I guess they'd have to consolidate.

So if it is a full merge, Gamma Phi just absorbs the little chapter into the big one and goes about their business. But Alpha Xi Delta suddenly has to go from being a nice little chapter at a small school to a MAJOR rushing school. And I think anything with over 40 or 50 pledges can be considered pretty major.

Keep us informed! I'm picturing a scenario that would almost have to function like a new colony. Obviously a chapter of 35 isn't going to be able to compete with chapters that have pledge classes of double that.
