I once participated in a Ritual at one of our divisional meetings where we initiated as alumns the members of a colony that had tried to make minimum numbers for several years -- and just couldn't seem to do it for whatever reason.
It's too bad, but those groups become a drain on the nationals resources.

I have to ask this. If the numbers are low in a chapter, why is it a financial drain?
Here is why I ask:
1) Aren't insurance policies global? Basically you pay per brother/sister and not chapter.
2) Don't larger groups get more attention from the national office in terms of consultants and advisors? If so the smaller chapters aren't requiring too much spending from the national office.
Why else would it be expensive? And has any fraternity/sorority actually said this or is it a rumor?
Personally, I would think you would want smart girls at a top 3 school than girls from Podunk U, but that's just me.
