Tom: NPC expansion WORKS for the vast majority of cases. Women who choose not to join existing GLOs do not tend to do so because of the GLO in question, but because of the women in the GLOs. Those women would be the same no matter the letters because they're all coming from the university.[/QUOTE]
Hm, while an interesting point, the smaller amount of GLOs to choose from narrows down the selection process for the PNMs doesnt it?
If let us say, that PNMs are looking for a certain GLO and it is not there, they do not want to join or they do not like the women in the existing GLOs, then where do they go (?), No where and do not join any GLO.
As said in another Thread about Affiliation and Transfering, that is to me wrong. It is used as a stepping stone and will not work out as each chapter is a different entity while the same so to speak.
To be a happy Sister or Brother, it has to work both ways for both parties.
How many Alums have been lost because they joined just to join and say I was a so and so member of ABC.
Expansion needs to be strongly considered in many ways, but not well, None are making numbers!
The question should be, why are they not making numbers? Where is the problem?
