The more publicity we recieve the more accessible we are, but just because a new group is added on campus it does not mean that more people are going to go through recruitment. The same people will be interested in the system, and quota will be lowered. I understand that on your campus adding a new chapter may have helped, but panhel has agreements to protect itself, because it understands that occurences such as that one do not necessarily happen at all schools. I think that what happened at your school is a wonderful thing, but it is not likely to happen over and over again.
I would argue though with only 4% participating in Greek Life somehow your message and what you have to offer is not getting accross to people. I can see the other side of the things where sure the rules will protect the existing organizations but they will continue to be marginalized because of lack of new action. For the time being if the system is to grow it is entirely up to the same people that have failed to grow it for the past however many years.
