Some of the same sisters stay, some of them go alum, and they recruit a whole new group of ladies... so it's like starting from the ground up, except the chapter is already established on campus.

Yes, but once those women are chosen by the national, they still have to complete the new member program, take exams etc...they most certainly don't get a free pass into the sorority. That's why I think James' suggestion to waive the pledge program is absolutely terrible. (and sunshine, I too took it to mean letting them in w/out any sort of pledging/orientation whatsoever) That's called giving your letters away, and that's how groups end up closing 5-7 years after their big "renaissance" and everyone says "but they had such a wonderful comeback! What happened!"
Yes you are going to have women who just pledged in high offices...yes you are going to have sisters with 3 littles at a time (if you're lucky!)...but you don't give your letters away.
