I think both chapters have something different to offer and both will grow. If you look at the stats, Panhellenic membership has grown by roughly 1,300 women since 2011 (2,100 since Fall 2000). Chapter total has gone from 180 to 268 in that same time period. Ultimately, chapter size is up to the member chapters of Panhellenic with guidance from their HQ. Do they want to be like a Bama, Ole Miss, or Arkansas of 300-400 women chapters or is 200-240 a good size? What size would provide an enriching, quality sisterhood experience...what is "too large"? What is manageable but still generates enough revenue for the chapter and their housing needs? My take is that chapters wants to be a little smaller--why Panhellenic voted for expansion. I wouldn't be surprised if Panhellenic looked at expansion again in a few years. This "old row" and "new row" stuff is just garbage. These chapters should be focusing on their values, sisterhood, campus leadership and involvement, academic success, alumnae mentoring, community service/philanthropy and a social atmosphere where members can have fun and enjoy their time in college. Who cares when you arrived on campus. Did your chapter contribute to the betterment of your members? That should be what truly matters. If judging chapters, rate them on how good they are in what they profess to be about. Are they top in grades? Are their members involved in leadership roles on campus or the community?
