I am honored to have been a part of one of those chapters, and it made me want to give back to my own national organization. I don't know if I can immediately say the same for those who will not have had an experience as difficult and rewarding as the one I had over the past few years. I hope to see my chapter succeed and grow in the future, yes, but I am absolutely satisfied with the character and caliber of the women that I call my sisters. You may not be able to appreciate them, but they deserve a bit more respect than what they receive on that campus.
Well if you feel my comments and opinion were generated by a specific group on campus, then I apologize. It wasn't formed because of 1 or 2 orgs at my school.

My main reasoning for how I feel is that I empathize with organizations that are struggling and have only a handful of people working toward the betterment of their chapter, since I know fraternity AND sorority members in this situation.

Which is what I meant when I said this:

I think it's a waste of time, money, and effort when these kind of chapters just linger on and on. It also isn't fair to the handful of individuals in a chapter like that who continuously strive to improve their chapter only to make little or no changes.
P.S.- If there wasn't "chapters that dont meet quota/total suck" stigma already established by SORORITY women, then fraternity men wouldn't fall into that "fallacy."

Since when do men listen to everything women say? This would be a first.
