When you look at 5 members working on at least 5 programs versus 50 members working on one, well....you do the math.

Don't generalize. AST has both a national philanthropy and a national service project, and my chapter is affiliated with four local places that we volunteer at too. Just because we don't nationally mandate it doesn't mean we don't volunteer. We just don't have to be told exactly what to volunteer at by Nationals.
