I am fortunate enough to be the VP of Recruitment for my chapter for this upcoming year... chapters on our campus are pressured to keep up w/ total but not REQUIRED. Although the majority of the six NP sororities that are on my campus are at or near total, Formal Recruitment always pressures each chapter to reach quota or something very near to it. I admit that when it comes to Formal Recruitment, we all obsess about being in the "top three"...having larger numbers helps out tremendously during Recruitment not only becasue you have a better sister to PNM ratio, but because (as bad as it sounds) it LOOKS good. Granted there are some chapters that are labeled as "super selective" while others are known for "practicaly handing out bids", but in the end everyone gets what they "wanted".

I take pride in the fact that my chapter is 94 women strong, and that these women love their letters just as much as i do. There might be chapters out there that due to their large numbers lose sight of the true purpose behind a sorority...SISTERHOOD. I don't claim to belong to the perfect chapter, but i do belong to a chapter that has gone through it's ups and downs, yet continues to move forward. I came in when my chapter was split into two sides..and am HONORED to see it where it is today. We take pride in the fact that we have nearly DOUBLED in size, not because we "sold" ourselves, but because we've PROVED ourselves.
