This did play a small role in my decision in general when cutting during rush. There were a couple of chapters on my campus that are not as prevelant in Texas and I knew this by the panhellenic book I received before rush listing the chapters at each university in Texas. They also were not as strong on my campus. I knew I would stay here in Texas and of course wanted to get involved as an alum-that would be difficult if there were say only 3-4 chapters of a certain organization present in the state. I am lucky b/c AXO has 12 chapters in Texas and 1 rt. here in Austin
