Clemson Theta closing

[LuvMyPNM]

Operate is a verb which means an outcome or outcomes. In what way we’re they not operating other than bringing in as many new members as other chapters? Looking back at the published #’s on Clemson’s own site they were always in the 140-150 range going back to 2010. So this didn’t just come about, this has been their size. Have they not been able to develop leading women? Have they not been financially self sufficient or irresponsible? What about being smaller has impacted sustainability? Was it not enough of an improvement to place 2nd in a fundraising “competition” this semester despite being smallest?

To make it about that is superficial and insults their intelligence. And mid-semester after initiation? Disgraceful and distracting seeing as they’re students!

The women at nationals are out of touch. They owe it to these chapters to be transparent about their objectives and also let every other on their hit list know what’s up. Because there are certainly others. The actives are going to vote about closing up end of semester or end of year, which may show they’ve learned something after the Ole Miss mess. But not enough.

I don’t understand the justification for closing a chapter for low numbers without a house. With such a low operating cost, how much could numbers have really affected nationals’ bottom line.

I also don’t understand why the chapter wasn’t given a probation period to try to fix the situation. Yes they may have told the chapter their numbers were low, but if they didn’t link that to a potential closure, then that is no warning. The girls should have been given the opportunity to COB a few times and another fall recruitment before drastically removing so many collegians’ sorority experience.
