My point is that these numbers don't really say much. Pike is just as honorable of a fraternity now, as it was last year. You didn't have an off year. The experience that Pike offers its members is just as meaningful today as it was last year, maybe even more so.
What is significant for Phi Psi is not how we rank, but that we are acheiving a goal. We set out to improve our recruitment and retention rates. Our average chapter size has increased every year for the last 9 years. The last NIC stats had us at an average chapter size of 46. As of this past June, we were at 49.
Is Phi Psi "better" than Pike, or other fraternities at recruitment and retention? To determine that you would have to look at the schools where we have chapters. Phi Psi is at a lot of schools that are very competitive, and with higher than normal chapter sizes. Maybe we are better, maybe we're not. Maybe the best fraternity at recruitment and retention, if you weigh its host institutions, is one that hasn't even been mentioned in this thread.
Recruitment methods are an area of fraternity operations that are shared between fraternities at the staff level. What any fraternity acheives in recruitment comes from a shared base of knowledge. We are all indebted to each other for our acheivements and progress.
Unfortunately the title of this thread does not facilitate any type of interfraternalism. It just encourages a pissing contest. I hope that the initial poster thinks before he starts another thread, but I doubt it.
