As one of the leaders of a very small student organization on campus, I'd like to respectfully disagree with the Collegian's editorial opinion ("Weaker requirements take meaning away from student groups," July 1). The size of your group says little about the size of the community you impact.

I have been very involved with Problem Child, an alternative literary magazine, since my first semester at Penn State. We distribute our magazines to more and more locations every semester and run out of magazines faster each time. We are a well-established organization, having existed for over 15 years in one form or another. Despite our growth in circulation, we struggle to meet the 20-member requirement.

DiscipleMakers, a group that helps students organize new Bible studies, is much like Problem Child. Although the number of students doing the legwork is small, the aim is to provide a service to the community at large.
