I'd really like to give props to Theta Nu Xi Sorority, Inc. for being so professional and for taking a stand against letter-wearers!! You have really distinguished yourselves in the greek world thus far, and especially among the MCGLOs!! All the best to you, and I hope to see some chapters in CA soon!

Thank you for your generous praise!!! I also wanted to mention, for the record, that I have first hand experience with an organization whose primary mission was expansion. They had two colonies fold within a few years - they didn't make it to chapter status. This organization is still small and struggling. It's just that the emphasis was put on getting the word out rather than supporting the current members who in turn would get the word out that way. My Sorors may not necessarily agree with me one hundred percent, but I believe that at the national level, all sororities and fraternities should primarily support their chapters. It is the individual chapters' responsibility to present the organization in a good light and promote membership that way. Of course, as we can see from the established GLOs (especially NPHC, NPC and NIC) once an organization grows to the point of excellent self-sufficience, that org can start to focus on inter/national issues that will bring attention - and new members - to that org. You can see how involved all of the established orgs are in this country!
