We have a sorority on my campus and they never get the numbers but they're just as dedicated as any other sorority, maybe more so. I have just always wondered why national headquarters push numbers over quality?
1) Dues to support HQ
2) Cost of Overhead is less with more members, lowering local dues
3) Longevity and membership retention-- the more members, the better to recruit with and the lower the blow when people graduate or leave the sorority for other reasons
