I read somewhere up in previous posts about small org competing against large org's for expansion...and I have to say, that I believe some of the smaller org's may disappear. The simple reason goes back to lawsuits/pr/hazing.
When we were a local, we looked very strongly at a smaller NPC org. After the panhellenic voted us to go national, the college told us in more or less words we would have to go with an organization with strong nationals- there had previously been problems with risk management/hazing when there was smaller orgs who had less resources on campus.
Basic point of this post: We went Tri Delta, because of their resources. The time before we expanded, ZTA came on campus, another org with strong nationals. I think the next time my college expands (not for years, of course; a promise on behalf of the panhellenic and administration to all of our national orgs) it will be another strong national (probably one of the other 2 who presented to us.) If other administrations act like mine, which they probably do because every college is obssessed with PR, I'm not sure how smaller orgs with less resources will survive.
***please note, i'm not predicting or calling for a downfall of smaller orgs; i'm just using my story as an example of what might, but what i hope doens't, happen in the future***
