and another thing...wit the numbers issue, what do ya'll consider a small chapter? and how is it that ya nationals is telling you to get more members??? shit i know chapters that would love to have just 5 pplz in it, let alone 20+. i mean, i'm Phi Beta Sigma man, so i'm used to seeing chapters with small numbers, like 1 or 2 pplz in there, and sometimes none for a few years. Only chapters that really have any type of numbers(20+) are grad chapters, and a few undergrad chapters here and there.

A lot of the issues come in with the difference with intake and recruitment. In NPC, it's all based on the groups trying to end up with the same number of new members, and groups that don't kind of look bad. Over time, if you're a lot smaller than the other groups, it looks like it's because the group is undesirable rather than selective.
Not all NPC chapters, even in the same national GLOs, do this kind of stuff, but some of the recruitments are really image driven.
It seems to me I remember people repeating rumors about historically there being a "brown paper bag test" for early membership in some NPHC groups. I'm not saying it was ever true, but I think it points out that image can be (or maybe was) an NPHC issue too.
