As a member who did not love living in the chapter house back in the days of the cold dorm, I think the chapters who have adapted to culture change will survive. For instance, one chapter on my campus will allow members to find someone else to live in their spot. They can pay a live out fee, recruitment a PNM who will live in, or do a semester split with a sister who is studying abroad. Also, NPC needs to stop making campus total largest chapter size plus 5. That hurts chapters at universities where the enrollment is dropping or Title IX is causing a drop in women's sport. Average chapter size was perfect because the PNM pool is finite and every chapter on campus should not have to COB. It's like telling the women in the chapter, "yay, you made quota, now add XX more." It's like there is no time to celebrate the successful completion of formal recruitment.
