I'm with you TigerPiPhi. I never understood this recommendation.

It happened at my school, too. When I was a collegian, I resented another GLO's national's for a while for promoting expansion. Ironically, their chapter that came on closed, too. Just a bad panhellenic environment at that time, and I wished everyone could see it.
Anyway, I may be the exception, but I like reading The Arrow, even without an active chapter because I became an active alum and feel proud of being part of a such a great organization. Getting involved with collegians as an AAC advisor was a great experience, and I live vicariously through our girls.
