Line Caps

[RU OX Alum]

If they told us to only take a certain number of pledges, we would probably take twice that just to show the Admin what's up. I think that would apply for most chapters on my campus. Just an extra reason for us to recruit. Actually, we'd probably sue them.

The rationale that I have heard about a line cap is that it is done to 'even out' the number of members in each org. Personally, I think it is a moot point because if a person wants to be a XYZ and they don't make it in undergrad, then they can wait and try again for grad - the person will still have an opportunity to be a member.

As far as having 300 people interested in your org, that is great. But I can be very sure that the org will probably not want all of those 300 people. It is better to be as selective as possible.
