We are kind of brainwashed into believing "Bigger is better". So, let's just SUPER-SIZE that!
Does EVERYTHING have to boil down to money???

Well, everything comes down to money if you're talking to past treasurers.
As for small chapters... I come from an extremely small chapter (12 active). And yes, it's very hard. We're lucky to have a nationals who is supportive and understanding. But we always have money issues, retention is extremely important (every time we lose a girl, we have to cut 1/12 of our budget - not fun), and having some events is just plain hard. While I love my chapter, I do wish we were bigger. And it's true - right now, everyone HAS to basically hold office. We don't have the choice to just be social members. That hurts recruitment too.
So, yes, I agree quality not quantity - but watch how much quality you are asking for.
