We do all those things
*make the room smaller to appear bigger (did that make sense?)
*boast leadership opps.
*display awards prominently (to be the smallest chapter and win the biggest school spirit award is no easy task)
*show excellent sisterhood year round
*COB with small pledge classes year round,
*competitive grades (we have a 3.012, which is something we are proud of, but all the npc sororities are STILL higher--top is 3.34 with 100+ members!)
you name it, we do it.
I was on the panhellenic side of recruitment last year, and I continuously heard girls saying "gosh they seem so sweet and fun, but I feel bad that I'm going to cut them b/c they are the smallest on campus and I don't want to be in the smallest group." OVER and OVER I heard that!
The major drawback to being in a small chapter is you have to WORK! I mean if 5 people miss an event, it can be a big deal. SO you have to schedule things carefully so you don't have burnout or overprogramming.
