AlphaChiCutie-How would you feel at your chapter knowing the exact figures of how many girls each chapter got,

If you're talking about different chapters on the same campus, I always thought that information was published or, at the very least, got around.

I do see what you are saying. Sometimes, when things don't go as planned, it FEELS like people are saying "HA-HA!", true, that may be a very small percent, but I honestly believe GC is kind of a Utopia in the sense that we ALL want Greek life to flourish. We do feel sorrow for ANY chapter that has any difficulties. For the most part, it's not to see who's doing poorly, but like GeekyPenguin said, to know how YOUR sorority is doing.

There ARE people who revel in other people's misery, but have you ever noticed how so many GCers leap to post when a topic like "NEED HELP FOR STRUGGLING CHAPTER" appears? People honestly want to help. I also think most realize that many have made a mistake or two in the past and by understanding what might have gone wrong we can avoid the same pitfalls. I do think the quality of the sisterhood is so much more than numbers. Most of us agree on that. But numbers can be important for continued growth and financial security. It's hard, but it would be better like some have stated, to come from a reliable source. More damage could be done-false information dispersed (gossip) if people are allowed to make up their own "facts".

edited to be COMPLETELY honest-If a chapter has a history of playing dirty, then yes, I would be more than happy to see them get just like they gave. In most instances, this is not the case.
