Zetagirl, i hear ya! I totally agree that chapters should not take people just to reach total - that's a total disservice to the chapter, the national org and those low quality members that will eventually drop or be dropped. And it really bugs me when sorority reps tell chapters just to get numbers or else. I, in my idealistic mind, believe that they want their chapters with low numbers to get quality women, but they do not communicate it effectively and don't approach it the best way, which to me is something like: "the chapter is in serious trouble because numbers are low. Sustainability is the big concern. Given current chapter operations/practices, will this chapter be around in 5 or 10 years? Likely, it won't if major changes are not made. Let's talk about core areas that need improvement, like recruitment, new member education and member retention."

I just hate it when chapters I work with (either on my campus or those i advise in my volunteer sorority leader role) use that as an excuse to stay small and not work hard to get quality members.
