I understand that the article had some pretty big errors, which I was upset about as well, but I would like to point out that I read it as the reporter mentioning ZTA and KD in particular since it came out before there was time for her to get a sense of SK. It came out Tuesday, SK presented Tuesday evening. I don't think it was meant to imply that SK was in any way inferior and I think that most of us on campus here read it without thinking that.
As far as Recruitment issues/ that unfortunate quote, some of our chapters here are less than enthusiastic about extension because they feel that they already have difficulty with their numbers and a new chapter will "steal" pnms from them. I don't think this is true, but unfortunately apparently some people do.
Also, Recruitment at Duke has never been as big a deal as at other schools in the area, possibly because we don't have housing. For us, 10 would be a new thing. I don't think it's particularly fair to compare us to another school with more because a) that's not Duke and b) we have a little more than half of Penn's student body.
As far as attendance at the events, I know there were ZTAs present from both UNC-CH and NCSU, and SKs from Elon. I wasn't able to attend KD, so I'm not sure about that. I also wouldn't want to make any conjectures about the outcome until it's public.
