And, operating a house is totally out of the question.
HOWEVER...consider this:
This is where locals might thrive. But as a national, this group is
a drag, cost ineffective, regardless of sisterhood or brotherhood,
where is the pride, the due diligence?
It is not a sin to be a small chapter but it is unconscionable to remain one....perhaps you should go local...
It's not "cost ineffective" if there are no housing costs. It doesn't sound like they are asking their national (either chapter) to continually send consultants or other support - they are taking the initiative to do it on their own. If the women are still having fun and not feeling pressured or burnt out, and are still running the chapter in an effective manner, who cares how many members there are?

There is no magic number for brotherhood or sisterhood.
