It makes me very sad and nervous to hear news like this. Everytime I've heard a that another chapter has closed over the past couple of months, I worry about my own chapter, which has also been suffering from low numbers over the past few years. We've done everything we can to try to increase our membership, but it's hard to compete with larger chapters on a small campus with stereotypes that are deeply ingrained in the minds of the students (even though they would realize that none of those stereotypes were true if they actually got to know the sisters!). I wish international council would take a harder look at quality over quantity, because we would have many more active chapters if they did.
