When Is It a Good Idea for Campus Panhel Expansion?

[Low C Sharp]

Now there are ten sororities and one is struggling with numbers (a chapter that used to do well while I was there). So, in retrospect, I don't know if expansion was a good idea for the greek community there. Why couldn't they just have nine strong chapters?

The question is, did the new sorority coming on have anything to do with the established chapter beginning to struggle? I have a number of close friends who are alumni of the chapter that's having a rough time today. I got the impression that the community at Duke, for whatever reasons, likes to have a soccer-ball chapter to kick around, and the expansion wasn't the issue -- it was the departure/rejuvenation of the previous soccer-ball chapter. When the previous victim of negative stereotyping was gone, someone had to take its place.
