Opinion about weak chapters...

[irishpipes]

Hi everybody! I am new to this website so bear with me...

I was reading some old threads, and I was wondering what your opinion is about AOII's chapters which close. I think our expansion team does a great job making presentations and getting us on new campuses. In fact, I assisted with the presentation at Chi Theta chapter (Northeastern State University, Tahlequah, Oklahoma) a few years back. I wonder though, if AOII should be allocating more resources to helping chapters from going under. It concerns me that we lose so many! My younger sisters are Kappas and they just rarely if ever close a chapter.

I know that back when I was in college, my chapter was very solid but then later in the mid 90s they had a bad spell and HQ sent a CC to help get them back on track. I don't think they've ever regained the great reputation they once had, but their numbers are good and the house is in no danger at all. I wonder if HQ does this for all endangered chapters? I don't think so because so often members seem shocked to find out a chapter is closing.
