I think that you're putting blame on the wrong party here. The problem wouldn't be with someone for releasing information on how many new members each chapter took; the problem would be with the women who are sitting there saying "Nyah nyah we're better than you because we got two more girls than you did!" If that's what is going to happen if numbers are released, maybe we should look at it as an opportunity for women to get the information and react appropriately. It's not right to keep the numbers secret because of fear that someone who hears it is going to feel superior -- that's an attitude problem of those women more than anything else.
Keeping the numbers secret just fosters the idea that unless a chapter takes quota or quota plus, the members should be ashamed of themselves. I think that attitude should change and that people need to realize that being open and honest rather than secretive is the best way to deal with recruitment and life in general.
