You can still have a good contribution to your school and your community if you don't have numbers. I also think thats what makes TKE such a great fraternity is the diversity of small and big chapters.

Sure, a small chapter can contribute to the school/community, but a larger chapter can devote half the energy and still double the effort of the little one. For example:
30 man chapter - 20% active in student govt. = 6 people
80 man chapter - 20% = 16 people
30 man chapter - $200 dues = $6000 party
80 man chapter - $100 dues = $8000 party
or
80 man chapter - $200 dues = $4000 party (Fri. night) + $6000 party (Sat. night) + $6000 party/dinner Sun.
Every chapter smaller than the average size (about 40) hurts TKE everywhere.
Don't shut 'em down - give 'em help, give 'em a good advisor, and give 'em a deadline.
