Sometimes I think we would get better numbers if we weren't so worried about numbers.
When rush is just a big stress and the fun of welcoming new sisters gets lost in worrying over the girls you DIDN'T get, I think it shows and really turns a lot of people off to Greek life in general. If you don't have a big house to fill and you are happy with having 12 sisters, you should be allowed to have 12 sisters and not get a lot of crap about it.
At small schools, there are years where the rushee pool just sucks and there is no one who would fit with your chapter. It happens. You shouldn't be forced to take women you don't want just to get numbers up. Clashing personalities the chapter more than small numbers. I think the nationals would like to believe that once we give women bids they're magically transformed, but that just is not the case.
