Quality -vs- Quantity
I noticed on one of the boards, a post from a young lady asking what sorority was the largest. It really got me to thinking. Do people really put that much value in the size of the organization?
In my chapter, we chose not to have lines greater than 20. Typically, the frats follow a similiar philosophy. For those of you on lines smaller than that you understand the challenge and reason. For those of you on lines greater than 20...say 50-130 did you feel you had a fair opportunity to truly bond with your linesisters?
There was a line at my undergrad (Howard U) that took 128 girls one year and those poor ladies had the hardest time living that one down. As a matter of fact, one of my very dear friends was on that line. Another dear friend who did eventually go on to pledge membership in that organization in a graduate chapter confessed she would have been embarrassed to be on that line.
Do you think there should be a cap on the number of members chapters should take? Do you think it's possible to really get to know more than 20 other women or men who are on line or go through MIP with you?
I have 9 linesisters...RIP #8, and I know I have to work to keep up with them and it's been over 9 years since we crossed. How do you keep in touch with 80 linesisters?
