With the enrollment dropping at most smaller universities (and small universities closing), we will probably see more of this. I have read several articles about the declining number of 18-yr-olds, and we about to hit larger drop.
I have been advising at small chapters for several year now, and small chapters (under 40) are always hanging by a thread. It can be very difficult to get a full officer team that actually does all their tasks when that officer team is 40% of the chapter. Not to mention the chapter has to have a high % of members pay on time and maintain grades. So, there is a big difference between 2 members not paying and 4 members not paying.
