thanks for your take on it...
Your points are well-taken, Firehouse. You are right when you say that NPC groups DO trade flexibility for security. Again, that may be another battle of the sexes.
You don't say where you are from, but I am in the South. It is true that recruitment is very competitive and even on smaller campuses (but especially on large ones) it is hard to compete with Freshmen for spots. I agree with you that sororities should consider the maturity of upperclassmen and all the things they can bring to a chapter that a freshman can't, but that often doesn't happen.
I do think that sororities know they have to work VERY hard to maintain their status-quo even, because if they leave campus, who knows if they will ever be able to come back. Every decision they make regarding membership has to be the right one. Sometimes not a good place to be.
