I would not have total raised. To me, it's coming off as the bigger groups are well, selfish, and the PNMs being stuck on the rep of a house, and not the idea of a sisterhood or being Greek.
I'm not familiar with the campus in question, but I'm sure the much smaller group isn't in their position because they are partiers or "slutty" or anything like that. It's probably because there are internal problems or they are not "attractive", and that's why PNMs won't join. So what happens then? You have 4 groups at total, with PNMs waiting for COBs. Then there are all of these quality girls waiting in the wings for bids.
My opinion? Keep on waiting, chickadees or suck it up, take a stand and join the smaller house. All GLOs are different, but underneath, we are all the same. It isn't like XYZ stands for sisterhood and philanthropy and ABC has a secret agenda of mass hazing and neo-Nazism!! No one is truely going to end up with a raw deal if total isn't raised!!!
There is another thread out there about "should we start a new house or mass takeover a struggling one?" These girls need to take over/help the struggling one!!! Unless there is a HUGE upswing of women rushing, bigger houses allowing more women in is just taking away from potential bids/COBs to the smaller house. One or two good pledge classes could save this smaller houses, and the same one or two pledge classes can change a reputation & fix long-standing problems. I have seen it happen.
Pheww......sorry if that made no sense. These kind of situations make me so sad and angry.
