Quality over Quantity

There are many things I learned during my time as an active sister of  Phi Sigma Sigma. I learned to a leader, I learned to trust my own voice, I learned my own strength.

While I learned a great deal about myself, I learned even more about Greek Life, and what is expected and required of its members. One of the things, are that the quality of the girls each chapter is more important than the quantity.

Granted, I went to a private university where Greek Life only made 13 percent of the student population. That being said, this might be different for larger schools. However, the general moral is that as Greeks, we should want the best, we should consider this while recruiting and even more when extending a bid.

With all the pressures by nationals and universities to maintain above a certain number, it is easy to forget that we are looking for the best women that we believe can represent our chapter’s ideals. While we want to be inclusive, we also should give every women the opportunity to prove they want to join us.

Ultimately, we want the women in our chapters to be the future leaders of our chapters, and if that means our numbers fluxgate, then so be it. So as you start planning for spring recuitment, consider, remember, and think: Quality over Quantity.
