Wow.

When I was a founding father of the Kappa Sigma chapter at the University of Cincinnati we only needed 30. That was in 1994.....

Anyway, I hope it all works out for both the sorority and the women....

Good points, but remember that when the founders developed their organizations they were starting from scratch and didn't have to stay competitive with other groups or be held to a set of rules attached to a conference. And a fraternity colonization is very different from a sorority colonization. Not to mention that the numbers needed at one school vary greatly to another. The idea here was to develop a ZTA colony that would be competitive with the other sororities and would become a chapter that would thrive. That required a number of women roughly equivalent to the existing chapters and also women who met the high academic standards for ZTA and Tulane Greek Life. It's unfortunate that they could not recruit enough qualified candidates to make this work.
