aabby757, thank you for your insight. i agree that a school showing any support of greek life is super helpful.
as far as having a non-member come in and help my chapter with membership-hell, i would have loved that! maybe they could have brought an idea we hadn't thought of. actually, i got some great recruitment help from people at UIFI last summer and then after we implimented them, we had the most sucessful rush we've had in years. we would have died off prolly but we were able to stay strong and double our numbers in one semester. we also had women from some of the other sororities giving us suggestion and help. that was so great and really helped bring us closer to those chapters (more greek community=good).
however i don't really think the sarfs are there to tell you who to take and how to recruit them. what i understood fromt he job description is that they are supossed to make sure 'proper' recruiting is occurring (ie. no alcohol in rush-more a problem for the men from what ive seen) and help out with ideas and plannign with recruitment if the chapter needs or wants it. maybe im wrong in this interpretation but i highly doubt UMD would tell anyone to go into a chapter and take over their recruitment process. greek advisors don't do that, so why should a sarf?
also, UMD and the SSHE schools are so different I would never compare them.
