No, what I mean is that a group of women on a PA state school campus (West Chester), and when I say group, I mean like 30 or so, wanted to start an new sorority...the campus said no. They said to themselves, ok, what's the weakest sorority on campus? XYZ (I'm not naming names). So they all went and rushed the sorority during spring COB, and all 30 of them took their bids. The chapter itself had about 20 women, so with more NMs than actives, their NM program went by pretty quickly. At the end of the spring semester, the chapter had elections, and by block voting, the new 30 women got all of their girls into the leadership. Then, those 30 women went out before the end of the spring, got about 15 more of their friends to commit to pledge in the fall, adding more to "their side" than the other side. During fall formal recruitment, they got quota for the first time in years and from there, well, you can figure it out. The chapter is now one of the largest on campus, has a GREAT reputation and is doing incredibly well.
Now, was it unethical of these women to go into this, knowing that they wanted to "take over" this group? I don't think so. They went into a chapter who obviously couldn't help themselves and turned it around. The 20 or so women who were from the "other side" stayed active and are now alums, and from what I know, are fine with it.

How did they do this? Did they get a bunch of friends to join when they did or did they rush and recruit strong people later?
