The way I'm understanding it is that carnation is speaking to LONG-TERM RETENTION as a means to measure success. I completely agree.
I feel that we've made it too easy for members to attain inactivity without fully investigating their claims, and that our shortened new member periods are hurting our ability to retain women-- they simply do not have enough time as provisional members to know if this is something they will want 4 years down the road.
Campuses do vary, and members leave the sorority for any number of reasons. But if you recruit a class of 60 freshmen members and 4 years later only 3 remain, that is a problem. Your new members coming in are going to start viewing XYZ as a 2 or 3 year committment, too, and it will breed a culture of poor retention.
