I would rather have 1 good level headed sister that knows her shit, than have 10 sisters that are just in it to be party animals and goof off. As long as you have the quality and true reasoning in becoming a sorority/fraternity you are going to succeed.

Obviously Natalie, you have not worked with the Greeks on much of a scale. You cannot support a chapter, with a house,
paying risk management fees, with a dinky 35 member chapter.
Go local if you want to be in that "selective" mold.
Even back in the 50s we panicked when we got down to 50 in
the house, forced out-of-house members to move in or help in
the defraying of the losses.
If you know of chapters of 10-15 members "doing well" then you
must not have much of a system, and I will tell you t hat the Pikes, Tekes, Sig Eps, SAE's, Lambda Chis, Betas, et al., will certainly not be knocking on your door to join you...I guarantee it. Your concept of fraternity is about one hundred years behind.
Sorry, but as a board member I would close the house or do something to pull us out of this obsolete mind-set.
Tell me one big school with an average chapter s ize under 40.
Perhaps a street car college with no house, but they have but a
little to offer in contrast. Please furnish rebuttal on this....do.
If you do not feel that way, then go local, get rid of the house, do
something other than be a drag on the other chapters.
In other words, get real or get out.
