I'd be curious to hear others' take on this.
Bolded for emphasis, and I concur.

FWIW I joined Theta when they were only 5 years old at my college. Never regretted it once. I'm now an advisor to this well established and very successful chapter.

I also would not assume that a new chapter has less support than an older, more established chapter. New chapters have a way of energizing alumnae in an area and can have extensive alumnae support. Older chapters sometimes have difficulties maintaining adequate support from their alumnae. Automatically discounting a younger chapter for this reason is misguided. Instead, I would ask all the chapters how much alumnae support they have. You might be surprised by the answers you get.

I didn't even think about it this way. That could be very true, thanks! I will definately remember to ask about alumnae support.

It's nice to hear from someone who has been there and done that, thanks!
