as someone from a smaller chapter I just want to say that I do know sororities are sometimes forced to do this, by either the national or panhel, and it is bull...I don't care if you have 3 members, if a girl shows up to your parties and is rude, inconsiderate and disinterested, you should be allowed to cut her loose. I can't think of anything that would be more wearing on the self esteem of a sorority that's already worried than having to put up with jerks at your parties where neither of you wants to be there.
OK, I just had to vent on that.
What's the solution? Well if I knew that I would get a big gold medal, but one thing I can say from reading these "big school rush" threads is, a good start would be to destigmatize informal rush and/or COB. It seems like at some schools if you have to open bid everybody acts like you are wearing your underwear on your head. Let's face it, some chapters suck at formal, but they can pull in big numbers in COB. Plus I think the focus should be on member RETENTION, not member gathering. Who gives a crap if you get quota every time if half those girls aren't active by their senior year?
