I so agree with the above statement.
At my campus, there are (or were during my years in school) three tiers of sororities- elite, middle and struggling. At the time I pledged, my sorority was solidly in the middle tier. By the time I graduated, we were probably in the top tier. (I recognize people will have different opinions about which sororities are in which tiers, and that some people, including myself, hate to even recognize that there are tiers, but, at my campus, the truth is that there were tiers).
Anyway, we improved our lot by focusing on quality over quantity, even if that meant we might not make quota, which was probably easier for us to do than a truly struggling sorority since we didn’t have a numbers problem. The first year we took this approach, we were one PNM short of reaching quota, but we were absolutely thrilled with our entire new member class. The strength of this class made subsequent recruitment efforts much better, and, within two years, we had a very high quality of members and were one of only two chapters that could not participate in COB due to having reached total.
A few problem members can bring down the recruitment efforts of an otherwise strong group, while having a group of solid, quality members is self-perpetuating. I think PNMs want to be with the quality group, even if it is not as large as a group that has a mix of some quality members and some problem members.
