Yes, it is always percieved that the biggest chapter on any campus must be the BEST chapter at the school. But that is not always the case. Sometimes with bigger chapters there are more problems within the chapter that can't be worked out.
My chapter is at the moment only 16 actives strong, but I think that we rock as a chapter. We just had our philanthropy in February and we had such a great turnout , it really made us proud. We are also aproaching our 2nd anniversary in April.
Yes, with only 16 actives it is hard to do certain things, i.e. derby days, panhellenic stuff, but we have managed to do well,so well that we recieved Chapter of the Year, Highest GPA Awards at our Regional Conventions, which we hosted, we are small but we have quality, strong women.
So being large is not always the best thing.
ohh p.s., our retention rate is a good one. In the last 2yrs we've only had one girl go inactive and we've only dropped those girls that have comitted serious infrations during our pledge process. We hold our sisterly bond close to our hearts and we make sure that when one is having a problem we rally and help them out. We would hate to lose a sister because we didn't uphold sisterhood.
