Having done my turn on more than one occasion as the Council appointed "save the chapter" adviser, it's never an easy answer for any chapter. There are a myriad of reasons when a chapter is closed. It's not just one- unless a risk management issue. Changing the chapter culture is difficult. And yes, they "like" being smaller and are truly afraid to change...mostly because they fear failure...so they just want to stay as they are. And sadly that isn't usually possible.Every NPC group wants their collegians to have the best AZA or whatever experience. It's just not always possible. LadyBug is spot on. And FYI, my chapter of initiation was closed about 12 years after I was there...and we came back 32 years later. It's hard- very hard.
