Hey Girls,
I've been looking at your postings on how small your chapters are and yes they are small compared to American standards.
I'm from Zeta Omega Chapter, which is in Waterloo. We are currently operating with operating with 16 actives and 4 new members this term.....
The problem with the University of Waterloo is it has a world renowned co-op system.....so many of our sister's are gone during regular school terms and are back during the summer....we aren't active unfortunately during the summer
, wish we were though....
We seem to do well with a small chapter partly because everyone knows each other, everyone gets a sayand there's much better bonding in Kore Group competitions. This is because there's only 3-4 of us in groups....also whoever does go on co-op, when they come back we get them them reacquainted with things in Kappa by trying to fit them into a position.
Having a small chapter creates other problems, such as some sister's getting burdened with 2 positions or even more.....but it shows what our chapter is made of......and we're still here.... next year is our 10 year anniversary! But the girls end up developing valuable leadership skills, right after they've initiated. I just initiated last term, and currently the recording Secretary, all members have a position except for Special Actives and New Members.
Need more info or help regarding small chapters email me at
