Just a little bit from my standpoint....
We are the smallest chapter at a large southern school with 14 other NPC's who (for the most part) continuously over-reach quota and total. We don't. Last year, they raised total by about 10 women, which allowed the largest chapter to recruit during the spring. It was one of the most depressing informal Pan-sponsored spring recruitments we'd ever seen- we extended bids to a lot of women, but all accepted bids elsewhere (at most springs we get 10-20). It has been so hard for us to continue to compete with the other chapters- even the ones that we were comparatively close to in size before. Now we're nowhere near the other chapters, and they just keep expanding (we only got 1/4 of quota, where other chapters that weren't at total were over quota). We'd love to meet total and quota, but it's just not feasible to double our chapter in size where the majority of women would be new members. We continue to recruit to try and at least meet a total set internally by our members to something we think is practical, because our Pan. Advisor doesn't seem to want hear about anything that isn't "hunky-dory." She looks past "dirty-rushing" and the chapters who do it recieve nothing more than a slap on the hand. There were two MAJOR infractions this year committed by other chapters against us specifically, but there was "nothing that can be done now"--I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say the specifics of it until something more is done (our NPC delegate has taken it into her own hands).
