I don't know if ya'll have asked the advisor, but has she asked the girls wanting to start a new group on campus why they are interested in starting a new group? (if hypothetically speaking chapters were open to COB in spring)
Is it because they have met with the groups on campus and the groups here didn't meet a need or want? Or because the chapters are at/over total and won't be COB'ing?
I think that would be good to know when considering whether or not to expand/raise total so soon.
Not only that, but to learn what it is that the current groups aren't doing that they could work on to raise more interest not only in their individual chapters, but in the NPC system as well.
