This is very interesting to think about. At the school I attended as an undergrad, the so-called "weakest" chapter was actually a wonderful group of women. They had the best grades on campus, the strongest sisterhood (very few members dropping out, very little internal drama, etc.), wonderful alum support, visible National support, almost 100% participation in inter-Greek activities (Greek Week, Bachelor Auction, etc.), and for many years, the only sorority with a house, but nonetheless, their rush results were the lowest by far...only 3 or 4 new members while other groups were getting 20-25. They had the reputation of bidding everyone, and they were often the brunt of jokes. It was sad because they were super friendly and SO involved on campus. I have never been able to figure this out. It seems that they had most of the criteria covered. I heard they are growing now, and I really hope that's true!
