undergraduate lines

[niceone]

hello ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha,

What are the factors determining whether an undergraduate chapter is having a line that year or not? When I first went to college I was told that the greeks on my yard have lines every other year but as the years passed by I saw that this was not true at all but merely a rumor. Does the school decide or something? If this is member information, no problem, curiousity just struck me when I was looking at an AKA website and noticed that there were years missing inbetween where there were no lines at all. I also saw that there were like 7 or 8 lines year after year then a year with no line then another line, etc. If you cannnot answer the question, it's okay, it was just out of curiousity anyways.

The decision to have a line is entirely up to the specific chapter, provided that they have met all the requirments set forth by their Regional Director. I can't speak on why or why not a particular chapter decides to have a line in a given semester or quarter. Suspension or other impediments may also factor in to why a chapter doesn't take a line over a period of time.
