You also want to consider why the struggling chapters are struggling. Some groups are small just because of a string of bad events or a problem pledge class but are filled with strong, dedicated women who will be able to bring the chapter back. A group like that may lose a few girls to the new chapter, but not many. On the other hand, some groups are small because they take the girls who can't get in elsewhere and have bad attitudes. A group like that will fold whether a new group comes in or not. The new chapter will just hasten the process. So I wouldn't worry about the other small groups - just about your chapter.
However, while I can understand your campus wanting to bring another group in, I do think it's pretty poor form for them to invite the group you were initially interested in. It's better to bring in a group with ideals and a style different than the groups currently on campus, in order to appeal to the greatest number of girls.
