just my opinion

I think limiting your chapter to "elite" schools is not an effective way to get better members. Sometimes at those schools people have less time to spend with their GLO b/c the school is so demanding. I know several extremely intellegent (Rhodes Scholars) women who did not join sosorities b/c they didn't have the time.I know one girl who had to quit her sorority b/c she wasn't making straight "A"'s (she was med school bound)They were way too caught up in grades. Some of your more academic types look down on frats & sororos as silly and immature(depending on where you are!)I also know some really great, super smart, heavily involved in their GLO people who chose to go to a "lesser" school because they just wanted to stay close to home, got a better financial deal, or whatever. Also, there are some schools that are not necessarily known as being top notch schools, but they have really top notch dance programs or business programs or colleges of Ed. Those people may not be the best University, but maybe their program is really prestigious. There are too many factors to make it clear cut like that.Unfortunately, I also know MANY girls who went to "elite" private colleges, joined THE BEST sorority houses on campus, got married and disapeared off the face of the planet because getting married to a rich guy was their goal.Sad but true. I personally don't see spending 20K a year at a private school so I can get my MRS degress. But hey, to each his own!
