3. It's a problem across the board at my school. I was just talking about this with my other order of omega members. One of the other side effects is that since the chapters we would social with, every one goes TA or stops participating, there's really no reason to go to socials becuase then you just hang out with a bunch of freshmen. What's left of sorority membership? Meetings. Ugh.

But don't you see the problem here? It's a never ending circle. If no seniors ever stay active and the chapter is mainly freshmen and sophomores, then at some point a group of upperclassmen has to take the bull by the horns and say they are going to stay active their last 2 years or the cycle will never break. That goes for the whole school.
