I would HOPE that with extremely large lines the focus moves more toward making solid MEMBERS rather than "forcing" them to bond. It is difficult to be on a line with more than 30 women and bond with everyone and learn history and keep your grades up, I know from personal experience. With the current intake guidlines in place, it's darn near impossible.
I think it's our own fault though. The Greeks who were made pre-1990, please correct me if i'm wrong. I'm positive that these large lines are a direct result of no-pledge intake programs (which is different from regulating hazing). HOWEVER, non-greeks still need to know that they are not guaranteed membership...that it is not acceptable to run to the redional director when you don't get the chapter's vote...suck it up and try again next year. AND our elected officers should respect the chapter's decision and not add people when the chapter has voted otherwise. A young lady can look stellar on paper, but have the worst attitude/reputation in person...something a RD could not possibly know unless she's on that campus.
