Firehouse,
I do agree that there are things the campus Panhel can consider to get their recruitment numbers up, and you have made some good points. However, since I have a particularly strong interest in expansion - and it's affects on sitting chapters, glibly suggesting that 5 more sororities colonize on a campus "just to see who can survive it" is not helpful. A former chapter consultant tells me that rush numbers are off at many campuses, and of course, it is more apparent at schools where you have 150 going through one year and 80 the next, as opposed to 1300 one year and 1100 the next. I believe that schools will see an upsurge in recruitment, just as they have seen a downsurge. That is, if Sorority Life ever goes off the air.
