This is not the same as the situation WC described. There are not a few dedicated, outstanding women trying to keep their chapter alive with the help of nationals. Even the dedicated, outstanding women (and I knew many in this chapter) have been given alum status.
After formal recruitment, if every group makes quota, there will still be at least two groups not at total. Most likely, a few groups will miss quota by a few girls as well.
Now, these groups are not able to COB because the chapter that is recolonizing has gotten a three-week moratorium during the most critical time.
The moratorium was requested at the last panhellenic meeting of the year, and a special session was held for the reps to cast votes. There was no time for other chapters to propose other ideas or make revisions to the original proposal.
Okay, those are the facts, you can't argue anything thus far. Now here come my opinions:
Who stands to gain/lose?
1. Panhellenic community: Loses, because the other small chapters can not COB if they are not at quota/total.
2. Women from the struggling chapter: Lose, because they have been told by their HQ that they can not be part of the recolonization.
3. National organization: Gains, because they will get to continue having a chapter on a prestigious campus.
4. Campus women who do not formal rush: Neither, because they have the opportunity to be part of a colonization, but they can not join another chapter that may want them through COB.
