They love each other, are good girls, have the highest GPA on campus still do service etc etc. but now they are bidding girls they don't really know or like a lot to get numbers up. So sad.

When nationals shut chapters down for numbers, they usually say something to the effect of "the group was too small for the members to have an enjoyable collegiate experience." Bullshit. They'd HAVE an "enjoyable collegiate experience" if the national HQ would stop breathing down their necks to increase numbers.
If you have a huge house to fill, then yes you need numbers, but if you don't and you have 20 involved, loving, happy sisters who are enjoying being sisters and contributing to the community and the sorority, why penalize them and make them feel worthless simply because there aren't more of them?
