That's kind of like asking 15 year olds to rationally look at a proposal to raise the driving age to 17. They're too emotionally invested to see the positives even if there are negatives in the current system.

I know if I were in that situation, I'd be terribly afraid of increased chapters resulting in poor retention and more than that, of getting lost in the shuffle. I don't think it's only about wanting to stay "elite. " This is an age group loath to reveal its vulnerability and it's easier to say "we want to keep it elite" rather than "I'm really worried of our chapter getting too huge and no one noticing me."
