one other considerattion

if a group gets a charter and for some reason the system seems
to "implode" then the HQ may indeed try to help the chapter out
of the quandary.
However, it is folly for a group hell-bent to stay small to seek a
charter from one of the major greek outfits. So, the small group
can, indeed, stay small. But better it be local.
And some schools are better set up for locals and less receptive
to the intrusion of the large organization.
But the once-60 now 15 member chapters are usually there due to the unwillingness to demonstrate what a good experience a
chapter can offer with the additional benefit of being national in
scope.
And, if the quality is really there, folks will come a-knockin' at the
door to get in...and then everybody wins.
