We have a small chapter here, too (well, we're huge compared to some sororities at other schools, but when you're competing with sororities around 150 members... well, you get the point) and it's a struggle sometimes, but part of why we stay so small is because we refuse to "settle" on girls, and we're finally getting rewarded for it. We had girls preffing the large sororities and choosing us. And I mean actually CHOOSING, not just being cut by the other sorority. It's a real thrill, sometimes, to hear about people doing that. And, yeah, our rho chi from last year said that she heard from several girls things like, "they're nice, and they'd be my first choice, except with the big sororities noone cares if you miss an event." Now, maybe it's just me, but it's kind of nice to be cared about! I went through as a sophomore, so I knew the other sororities' reputations, and it was kind of neat to hear about people saying good things about DG... and our rho chi said that she honestly didn't hear about anyone trashing us... ahh... the rewards for picking quality over quantity! And, we do ultimately want to grow. Noone wants to stay at 85 members when total's 100, but we want both quantity and quality, b/c that's what's most important.
