From a smaller chapter perspective, it can be a tough road. We definitely market ourselves on the fact that our sisterhood is very close-knit. There's a group on campus that is so large that all the girls don't know each other's names. With about 50 members, we can offer closer bonds, etc. We are also able to do COBing because of our smaller size. We picked up 4 wonderful girls after formal recruitment (which is in the spring for us) and will be able to do COB this fall for sophomores and older. It can be tough, but you just do everything you can to make yourself visible on campus. The girls who are meant to be a part of the group and who feel at home in the smaller atmosphere will find their way to you.

Formal recruitment is coming up soon for my chapter, and I'm going to take these perspectives back to my sisters. It's good to know that others may be feeling the same way that you are. Although sometimes you may get down, the perks to being in a small chapter are immeasurable. :) KappaKittyCat, that was an especially inspiring story! Congratulations to your incredible sisterhood.

I would also like to say good luck during recruitment to everyone in the "mighty mouse" chapters that posted! :D Please let us know how you do.
