Campuses with Only 2 NPC Chapters

[FSUZeta]

[QUOTE=33girl;1716044]I think that the Greek advisor breaks the tie. This is, of course, operating under the premise that you have a Greek advisor who knows his/her bum from a hole in the ground - not always the case at schools with smaller Greek life.

i agree-that is what i thought happened in the case of a tie.

does the smaller chapter hold cob events? are they getting help from their national office?

if one chapter is half the size of the other, why is anyone considering raising total? are there that many girls going bidless?

This is a shot in the dark, but I'm wagering that Big Chapter has lots of girls who want to join and can't take them all and they don't give a rat's rump that Small Chapter is floundering.

It also needs to be explained to chapters sometimes that if total is lowered, they don't need to kick girls out to get down to it. It's called a grandfather clause, look into it. But seriously, I have seen chapters just lose their crap thinking they would have to kick girls out or retract bids if total is reduced.

My school is similar to what the OP is talking about (in fact, it might even be the same university) and its not the fact that many girls are going bidless, in fact, since there are few #s of PNMs going through recruitment, most (if not all) get bids.

From my years at my university, i've seen the size of the two NPCs grow and then fall. When I first started at school, both NPCs were pretty equal in size, and getting close to total. Now, XYZ definitely larger than ABC. It seems as though ABC has more trouble with retention than XYZ does.

To the OP: If your school is like my school, I'd suggest you focus more on retention than raising/lowering total.
