Then comes up another question. Do you believe in quality or quantity?
Of course the answer would be both, balanced.
We believe that quality is more important than quantity. But in our case (Theta Delta Chi), I think we need to put more Charges out there, since we never want to have more than 36 active houses AT A CERTAIN TIME.
As our national goes, we are really picky on where we would put our Charges at. We only want big public or elite schools. Look at our active Charges: MIT, Cornell, Darthmouth, Union, Brown, Virginia, Stanford, Wisconsin, Wiliam&Mary and Berkeley to name a few ...
Once one Charge dies down, we replace it with some other one somewhere else.
It seems that this tendency occurs only for some older GLO (prior 1850) for the exception of Betas and Sigma Chi.
So, must be nice to go everywhere to find out people you know there, sharing the same bond and stuff.
