It is a shame for both these chapters. With the temporary nature of active members, it is hard to make them bear the responsibility for being there when the charter is taken away. It can be said all you want that they are not to blame, but they will and do feel it. They are the ones there and they are feeling it most immediately and directly. They will be the ones closing the doors on the last day, packing up and moving out for the last time.

As a grown-up, I fear these national organizations are too far removed to understand that visits from various volunteers (who,when,what, for what expected outcomes) would help move the needle. And in what direction? How can you say 270+ at Ole Miss who are such successful fundraisers for CASA or 140+ at Clemson are not sustainable chapters sizes. Both schools are moderately sized and yes, other chapters at each school are larger. So what? Is this sisterhood to just cut them off and say 'ok enough here'.

Frustrating to see all these young women who had hoped to have Theta a part of their collegiate experience lose it. It is apparent they didn't have a chance; oh and no appeals allowed.

For those with an upcoming visit from Nationals, be forewarned it is unlikely you are going to avoid a similar fate. Especially if you're differently sized than other chapters at your school.
