I can from ECu where i was in a non-NPC sorority that had 100 girls, so i understand the problems the sorority will face with growth. I work very close to our Archon this year cause i am MRC and that was the BIG position Cause We had to get our goal or our chapter was goign to serious think about folding!! BUT WE GOT IT AND WE ARE GOOD TO GO!!! I have been talking to my advisor and to our current Archon about the position and things that will help me if i do the position. I just hope the e-board/e-copuncil will have the same chemistery like this year. We have even had our DCP and RCp tell us this is the Best Gropup they have seen
I gotta go

Hey Binks,
Good job as MRC and congratulations to the chapter for doing such a great job recruiting women this past year. I hope that your sisters will get over their fear of growing even larger. We went from 21 sisters up to 32 this Fall and I think we have grown even stronger and closer with the newer sisters added. They have brought so much to the chapter. Plus I just think about all the fantastic friends I would miss out on if we didn't grow larger. I have met and become friends with so many women I never would have without Phi Sig.
Sounds like you know what the downsides of the Archons position are and you definitely know what the pluses to it are. I strongly encourage you to run for it. I am so glad that I was Archon last year when it wasn't even a position I had seriously wanted to consider before I was nominated (I was all about running for MAL at the time). When I got nominated for Archon I thought about declining but thought the heck with it I'll never get it so might as well leave my name up there - imagine my surprise when it was announced that I won. I'm glad I didn't decline the position and that I actually won it.
Good luck and let us know what you decide to run for.
