I believe their advisors are on the right track in working to help the smaller chapters with their COB and competitive size efforts. I have seen similar efforts work to calm smaller chapters on other campuses.

I would think, though, that the concept of maximizing the number of women who are able to pledge would be less important than doing what it takes so that the women who are in the system are happy. It sounds like women in the larger chapters are seriously unhappy with how many members they have.
Isn't it more important to take into consideration how happy the members themselves are, than it is to try to ensure that fewer people on campus have a negative attitude toward Greek Life?
Anyway, if women are getting turned away from the largest groups on campus, they're not necessarily getting turned away from Greek Life. Maybe the members of the smaller houses would love to have them.
Again, I'm just curious and I think this is an interesting discussion. I guess the proposal of "caps" got me thinking.
