It doesn't necessarily hurt the struggling chapter. Let's say there are 10 chapters with quota of 50 and one that gets 25. So presuming all factors stay the same, 11 chapters would make quota be 45 for the ones making quota and the one making 25 may or may not do any better or worse. That is a factor that can't be accounted for since the reason the girls aren't accepting their bids to there can be vast and nutty. Now, that is presuming the 11th chapter is drawing from the entire pool and not from the struggling chapter. And that's what the people in favor of expansion are thinking. At some schools, there seems to just have to be a bottom chapter and the new one won't necessarily affect that order at all. Or maybe it will and the struggling chapter will be seen as a better option than the new chapter.
If you have a school that is just bursting out of its seams, but has one chapter that just continues to struggle, do you really make the rest of the chapters deal with a huge number of members instead of expanding and alleviating some of that pressure? If the struggle has been that way for years, holding your breath waiting for them to fix it helps nobody.
