In what circumstances would you support reorganization or closing?

Here's my bad analogy: instead of saying we are businesses, I think we should look for a similarity with churches or charities. (And NO, I don't worship Alpha Gamma Delta)

These groups also have expenses and insurance and are often incorporated, but you'd never hear them say, "Well, membership at that location is low, so we're going to close it and start again. And we'll make sure that none of the old members come to the new place because we don't want the reputation to follow us." Instead, maybe they change leadership at the location and give the group support to make sure that it offers what people actually need to be successful and grow.

Now, I know that GLOs are really just social clubs; I'm not kidding myself that they're that spiritual or altruistic. But surely we offer something other than popularity and image to attract members. There's something at the heart of it, right? Tradition, values, support, community, something authentic, right?

ETA: I want to make it clear that I was working on composing my posts before I was able to read ADGee's. I didn't want anyone to think I was being critical of her efforts. I'm glad those chapters are doing well. I'm glad they looked out for the new alums.
