It continues to baffle me how you people can argue about anything.

The guy that makes minimum wage is going to have a harder time paying his bills than the guy that make 100k.

If you charge the same dues and have a lot less guys, then you have a lot less money.

Go pick out a campus, look up the dues rates. They'll be some range that normally isn't far apart. Almost always within 50% from highest to lowest, probably more like 30%. That's based off what the market will bear, and the balance that org has to strike to get and hold a number of members. Look at a dozen different campuses. I'll bet you in almost all cases the smallest quarter of chapters tend to charge average to below average dues.

Look at those same random dozen schools and figure out how many events their NIC orgs host on average a year. Again, I'll be you it's between 12 and 22ish (long as they're not on probation), and could be a lot more in some cases. Do some research on those situations and figure out the cost of doing business & what percentage of gross income is going to social. That percentage will be different for each campus, but will normally be pretty close between groups within a single IFC.

This isn't rocket science. Most of this stuff is about as automatic as breathing. If you want to spend your time arguing that some tenth of a percent exists out there somewhere as an exception to the rule, then I really don't care.

Is it possible we can just accept that no chapter is perfect? That there are in fact inherent pros and cons to certain chapter sizes and situations? Can we maybe focus on things that most likely true, so that just maybe someone can take something useful from it rather than waste their time saying they won't face any challenges.

I swear, you people are weird.
