Latino Greeks can literally not afford to be fighting

i agree that we do need to work together rather than dividing ourselves. It's very hard, though, because I think a lot of the fighting/competition stems from the fact that there is a such a small pool for any to recruit from, and most chapters have very low # members. When you co-sponsor an event with another organization that is recruiting from the same pool as you, it's hard for potentials to be able to differentiate if a lot of what you do involves working with another org. We don't want to share our recruitment strategies, and whatnot, because we don't want to lose that "advantage."

You see IFC and NPC orgs with 50+ members, and each year, their recruitment strategies, rush, allows for them to rarely worry about becoming defunct. That is not true with many non-IFC/NPC orgs, who don't intake on a normal basis, and many of us do not rush.

Another reason why we may not be getting along is due to the fact that working with another organization can be a huge risk. I've seen orgs trying to co-sponsor an event or party with another org, but somewhere along the way someone doesn't fulfill their aspect of responsibilities, and it leaves a sour note for future collaboration.
