Getting rid of collegians because they don't fit the image?

[33girl]

Ok, at a place like DePauw, why would they leave those 12 there to do all the work, especially when they're seniors and especially since there's an NPC rule that they can take everyone out and still keep their spot for a year - right?

I think if I was those 12 seniors I would have told the nationals to go shit in their hat, unless they completely hated the rest of the chapter.

As far as not taking quota, not reaching standards, GPA etc - that is a CHAPTER issue. If the CHAPTER hasn't met quota since 1973, they should close the CHAPTER, not kick individual women out. You don't say that your chapter hasn't done a, b, and c, and then leave 12 girls there, especially if they are the girls who have been there the longest and therefore had the most time to remedy the issues.

Do I think a national will remove girls just because they don't fit the "image" if the chapter's numbers are high and everything else (risk mgmt, $$ etc) is OK? No. Do I think a national will remove women or close a chapter if they don't fit the image AND their numbers are low or the chapter has other issues? Definitely. Do I think a national will let the same sort of RM or treasury issues slide if the chapter is over total and all the girls are drop dead gorgeous and it's the most popular sorority on campus? Definitely.
