I think that 33girl and a few fellow GCers had a conversation about this. Mainly, I really think that some of the sororities are very selective about where they go, and that is why they have done so well. Granted you could miss out on some great girls at a specific university but in the same sense is that school going to be able to provide the support, have the enrollment numbers that will keep the chapter active, are there alumnae willing to assist in the area, etc.

Also, like I said in our forum, while small schools are nice the bigger ones help boost the reputation by turning out more alumnae. We don't have many chapters at big schools and I do believe that it is difficult for our International organization to assist those at both the bigger and smaller schools at the same time. The things that fly for the other three chapters I advise wouldn't at the fourth, I think at convention this year it was the first time that they broke them down into groups according to things like commuter schools, etc. for chapters with similar areas could get ideas that may work at their campus.

I think on a whole that we need more alumnae support and the reputation and expansion would follow. If I had to pick a NPC sorority I would look for that as the deciding factor as that is the most fluctuating.

Just my 2 cents!
