(We Currently have 23 "actives" and 3 Spring "candidates"... since we are a colony nationally our actives are considered equal to chapter candidates)
We decided 4-6 girls would be a successful rush but we wouldn't cap it simply because we wouldn't turn a woman of true quality and that we can see benefiting us and reaping the benefits of A.O.E.
I hope this answers those questions.

WOW 23+3, I'm so proud of you guys! Way to work your butt off.
Yeah right now we are at about 20 fully participating active girls. We do have a candidate class of 10 but we have about 10 people graduating this spring. I am not graduating this spring and would love to see us grow even bigger in the fall. As a chapter, I feel like we have finally got down how to recruit and COB more. Personally I would love to see our chapter hold a steady number of 40 girls at least within the next 3 years.
Pros of a bigger chapter:
~more sisters are willing to just be an active sister and don't feel the need to hold a position
~ everyone can find at least one person to connect with in the sorority
~finally being able to participate in Greek activities on campus with a big number.
Cons of a bigger chapter:
~not a personal as it is right now (maybe this is a pro if you think of talking to your sisters on a professional level)
~ might not keep the smaller fraternities as friends if we get too big
... I don't know
