disillusioned CA, when I read your post, it could have been me writing it (other than I am not the CA but another advisor). Our chapter has been going downhill for years. There has been very little help from head office. Things have gotten better in the last couple of years but there is still little growth. The members seem to be content with being a small chapter and not having the vision to grow. What can be done?
Is your head office OK with them being small?

Are they meeting financial obligations and filling the house (if they have one)?

Are they maintaining a consistent size from year to year and not overburdened with too many offices?

Are the women having an enjoyable sorority experience (i.e. they participate in things, they like being around each other, there isn't a lot of disaffiliation)?

If the answers to these questions are all yes, you really don't have a problem. Not everyone wants their chapter to be the hugest on campus. You may want to see them grow, but if that's not what they want, and your HQ doesn't push it, you can't force them into it.
