I always hate to hear about ANY chapter/colony closing, in ANY GLO. It just breaks my heart.
I will NEVER understand the concept of GLOs getting closed because of "low numbers". I know I come from a complete different type of GLO, but in SAI, it doesn't MATTER what size your chapter is! There are chapters ranging from like 7 members(mine last year, though we have 12 now) to 40+ members. And our nationals supports ALL of us, no matter WHAT the size.
I know my opinion doesn't count for much...but numbers aren't important. If the chapter is strong, than size should not matter.
A friend of mine who is a Pike told me that a sorority here will get shut down if they did not meet quota this year...don't know if that's true or not, but I wouldn't be surprised. Although that would be really sad...it's a strong chapter!
Arg. When will people learn that it's the QUALITY of the sisters, NOT THE QUANTITY, that matters?
*sigh*
However, I realize that different GLOs function in different ways. And I respect that. I wish those Zetas all the best, and hope they can someday become initiated sisters.
