This thread pretty much sums up my entire sorority experience. 33 knows what she's talking about, because she's been through it, too. It's totally draining to be in serious recruitment mode constantly. I remember getting a form letter from National saying that we were not receiving the quality membership experience expected, and that was the reason we were being closed. I think the quality of my membership would have been 110% better if we weren't constantly being threatened with having our charter pulled.
If you can read the pain in this young woman's posts like I can, you'll understand why I don't want my chapter recolonized next Fall as planned. They've lost another sorority recently to low numbers, and I don't think that campus can take another group so soon.
