If you're a smaller organization that aspires to be a 'top tier' organization, you have to be willing and able to put out the effort to become competitive. Because you're not always there, you have to work twice as hard (probably harder) to get there as the folks that are already there.
Either you're not able (lack of resources) or you're not willing (lack of motivation). I'd tend to think it's more of the former and less of the later.
As the saying goes, usually, the rich just get richer.

Hummm...maybe on a chapter level improving your "tier" status (if you believe in it) can be a lack of motivation....but I don't buy that... improving your "tier" nationally (if you belive in national "tiers") is a lack of motivation...
I happen to know that Phi Sig (as a "smaller" sorority that may have trouble getting expansion votes on larger greek campuses) has a VERY motivated expansion committee who I'm sure put their heart and soul into expansion presentations....
sometimes I'm sure people just haven't heard of us becuase we are most strong in the northeast... sometimes I'm sure there are financial barriers...(have to be able to buy a huge house to be competetive)
sometimes it really is a matter of geograhpy... I mean even a "larger" sorority like Phi Mu probably woudln't get chosen here on a Cali campus because they are rather under represented here considering how strong they are in the south. ( I think there's only 3-5 chapters of Phi Mu here in Cali. But with as much love as people have for their GLOs a lack of motivation... ESPECIALLY on the national level since these women have decided their GLOs are important enough to continue their involvment after collegiate yeas...I really just don't see motivation as a bar to expansion at all really...
