What’s it like to be in a Huge Chapter?

[KSUViolet06]

I've become very interested in how chapters at my school will handle these issues (space/meetings/etc.) KSU isn't a Bama/UA/Ole Miss but now has a chapter total that is very close to 200 (with chapters over that at this point, quota was 65 this year.) I don't think many of the chapters can fit their entire membership in their chapter rooms anymore!

I think your chapters will hit Clemson's in size if quota holds steady for y'all for the next few years, and this is a problem we run into as well. If all of our chapter were to show up to chapter we would absolutely run out of chairs and break fire code in the lecture hall we've been assigned for chapter meetings. I have a feeling this will happen during officer elections as every girl makes an effort to attend that night. There's one larger lecture hall I know of we could use but it seats 840 and at that point chapter gets way too spaced out and impersonal to be effective.

What I'm trying to say is, I'm glad KSU is open for extension because it sure sounds like y'all need it!

Kent has another colonization coming up in the spring to try to curtail this growth. It's smart since houses are very small.
