If there's a member in my chapter who can't find one other thing on campus to be involved and interested in (and that includes athletics, peer counseling, RA, ANYTHING campus related) then I would severely question what kind of contribution a person with such limited interests is making to the organization.

I had friends outside of the chapter, but by the time I was a senior, I knew very few women who weren't affiliated AND whom I hadn't already tried to recruit. By that point, my good GDI friends were mostly from freshman/sophomore year.

Exactly. That's why this is so important. And if the only thing you do is your sorority and that isn't always a positive thing, you're going to see more and more members leaving because they don't have an outlet.
