Bumping.... this issue came up in conversation today and I wanted to put my two cents in the appropriate place.
I am against line caps. I have YET to hear of a good reason why a school would institute one. I feel that it interferes with an organization's right to determine its own membership.
Since when can/should non-members have a hand in determining the membership of a private organization in an arbitrary manner?
Higher GPAs for all Greeks? Sure.
Sophomore standing or greater? Sure.
Other requirements might also be acceptable -- maybe a student could lose the right to pledge if they had ever been placed on disciplinary suspension or probation.
But I fundamentally disagree with forcing a chapter to only take 40-60-75 if their interest is in the hundreds.
If someone that supports university-imposed line caps could help me understand this, I'd love it.
