look deeper
I have been reading this thread and what i would challenge you all to do is look a little deeper at what rapid expansion does...take a look at the Theta ___ chapters...at that time, NHQ was in a time of REALLY rapid expansion and many of those chapters are our most challenged chapters currently. Don't look simply at chapters closing...that happens with any group...look at the fact that rapid expansion leads to weak and unsupported new chapters. NHQ is expanding slower (and even I admit it's a little too slow) but the amount of support they are giving to their new chapters is awesome. They are putting consultants there for up to 2 years just to help them get off their feet...that never was done in the past. So needless to say, the organization is building chapters slower but they are building stronger chapters...
Just my two cents worth.
