Too Big Too Fast?

[ScarletBlueGold]

This past semester was an incredible semester for Recruitment in our chapter. Our Chapter, the smallest Chapter in the IFC (21 Members), managed to recruit the second largest New Member Class of the IFC (23 Members)

Our members have been nothing short of amazing. Incredible, enthusiastic, and reliable. I really have no problem with any member in the class, and I am confident that they are all going to be a good contribution, but I am a little worried.

It seems like we did a great job with our Recruitment this semester, but brothers are talking about holding a second pledge class half-way through the semester. Other brothers are talking about trying to double again in the Spring.

We're now caught up, for the most part, with the other IFC Chapters. I guess I don't see a reason for pushing such a rapid expansion. I would like to have a larger chapter someday, and I don't want to discourage the chapter from excellent recruiting, but I don't want our chapter to lose identity either. Is there such a thing as getting too big too fast?

What do you guys think? Am I being reasonable, or am I just being one of those old guys in the chapter who refuses to accept change?
