I think it depends on the campus and the circumstances. We voted for expansion even though we have a chapter that regularly struggles to make quota. This chapter appeals to a niche group of young women who know they are going to go through recruitment well before they get here, and the new organization that came in has not taken away from the struggling chapter at all--it seems to appeal to a group of women who may not have normally gone through recruitment at all. It has allowed more young women to get involved in Greek Life and has been a very positive addition to campus. The struggling chapter is struggling for very specific reasons (e.g., no physical house, risk management issues, wanting only a certain type of member, etc). I was a member of the committee that voted for expansion and we took this into consideration and I think we made the right call.
