I disagree with this. If a chapter decides to engage in activities that cause a pledge to be hospitalized, an HQ might have to quickly mobilize resources. This might mean canceling a colonization presentation with a desirable host institution. It could mean that a colonization effort is delayed, or canceled. It might mean that a recruitment retreat, for a struggling chapter, is delayed by a semester or two.
In the case of a perenially struggling chapter, that is otherwise behaving well, it might need HQ staff on campus every few years to keep it alive. Again, this means that staff is being diverted from other activities that would strengthen the entire organization.
No GLO is so flush with resources that it can handle all challenges with the attention that each deserves. What the executive level of a GLO has to deal with is triage. Who gets the resources to live, to die, and to be born.
