As for the need to partner...you can't argue with success. The results between partnered chapters and non-partnered chapters are for the most part staggering. But is it necessary? No. I think what it comes down to is that MOP can be a tool for your chapter exceeding what anyone thought possible. That's all it is, a tool available to be used as a catalyst for growth. Actually, I really like the idea of a catalyst, b/c it speeds up the rate at which you reach your goals more than anything. I mean seriously, in 1995, our alumni cleaned house and the chapter went from nearly 90 members down to 13...Ten years later, we win the f'ing NIC Award of Distinction as one of the best chapters in the nation. I don't know if that would have been possible without MOP. It's hard to say, but I would tend to think that we wouldn't have even won a Knox to this point were it not for MOP.

BetaRulz, of the MoP chapters that have done extraordinarily well there is one thing they have in common. They would have done well regardless. All the needed was some leadership. The campuses you are talking about all share the fact that men want to join fraternities and they can support large chapters.
On the flip side, I know of many MoP chapters on campuses that support a strong Greek system and those chapters are doing horrible because quite frankly they recuirt the kind of guys that no one else wants to be associated with.
I don't like talking bad about other Beta's and other chapters, but I met a few guys out at Convention from MoP chapters that I would not be associated with otherwise.
MoP is not going to make a weak chapter strong. If anything it's going to make a weak chapter disappear.
