Everything. From what I was told, if we brought a 3rd chapter to the school, neither sorority would be able to recruit for a whole year to help bring up the 3rd chapters number.

But not only that, we would have to be at total for several years to even think of bringing a 3rd chapter.

Thanks for clearing that up!! I know the sister that told me that has been in the sorority longer than me, but I had never heard of that here on GC so I just wanted to see the validity of her statement.

As stated before, that is not necessarily true. Your current chapters would still do FR but their COR efforts would be suspended for 3-6 weeks, whichever was agreed upon.

Being at or above Total for a few years is a factor when determining a campus is right for expansion. If chapters are not at Total and no one has been near it for ages, the panhellenic would need to either decrease Total or attract more women to FR.

This sounds like something she was told by someone who was paranoid of losing members to a new group.
