I agree with Andi. I think it is extremely important to remember that chapters close for a variety of reasons, and many times it has nothing to do with the strength of a GLO's membership program. Sometimes it doesn't even have anything to do with the chapter itself. For example, anti-Greek administrators at Alfred University forced all of its national Greek organizations to shut down, and we lost a great DZ chapter because of it.
