I still contend there's room for an alternative to the housed sorority. A distinctly smaller chapter, but available nonetheless. If I were them I would be participating in formal rush, have very directed conversations about what they can actually offer (and not pipe dreams about housing some day) and hope to get 15 or 20 new members. If they could sustain 75 members over time, happy members, I think they could consider themselves a success. Maybe even 50. There are some real positives to be exploited there, but they have to take full advantage of every opportunity they have, and formal rush is the biggest.

I disagree. I think it is too difficult for TPA to get an idea of who is really interested in them, and who is being polite as a fall-back option during FR. If they do all of FR, they could very quickly get the "they take anybody" reputation. I think building something separate is a good idea, at least for a few years.
