One of my friends is a Kappa at a school where all sororities have pretty small pledge classes, yet they still have an assistant New Member Educator who doesn't have anything much to do. Unhoused chapters have house managers -- what purpose do they serve exactly? There is no Assistant House Manager office that I know of, yet most housed chapters would welcome the addition of one. I guess my main point is a more general one. HQ needs to focus a little less on establishing national rules and a little more on evaluating the needs of each chapter and allowing them to modify national policy a little.

I've gotta agree with you here.... I think the reason that Kappa limited the number of assistant positions is so that a chapter wouldn't "create" ridiculous assistant positions for every girl in the chapter, so that everyone had an office to list on her resume.
But I think this could be easily overcome by changing the bylaws to state that a chapter has discretion to create and/or abolish "assistant positions", so long as their actions to do so are approved by a majority vote of the chapter advisory board and/or by the chapter's PDC.
