KTSNAKE,
Again, you are talking about MEN going through rush. At the risk of sounding sexist (and I am not) I have to say once more that you just cannot compare the IFC system to NPC. What works for one will not work for the other. Since IFC does not regulate a chapter total for the fraternities on a campus, and there is no quota for recruitment, it doesn't matter as much if a new group is formed.
For sororities, since recruitment is done very formally (hence the name FORMAL recruitment) they do experience a drop in quota and total if a new group comes to campus while one or more groups are struggling - and it does penalize the less strong. It does not serve to spark interest in the greek system as you have pointed out happened when new fraternities came to your school, it only dilutes the system that is in place for sororities to procure new members.

I'm not saying it's a bad system. Just that I don't understand why it puts the continued existance of a defective group ahead of the interest of individuals who would do well with the system and help it to grow. I can see how it benefits the GROUP but not the individual.
And I still don't buy into the fact that adding a group would hurt someone unless there was something fundamentally wrong and different about the chapter that was being hurt by it. At that point in my opinion it's forcing either reform or the dropping of dead weight.
I can understand why they do it but I simply don't agree that it's the best way
I feel I'm entitled to my own stupid opinons.
