Firehouse: Our dues run along the same lines as everyone else's. I don't know of any other group with significantly less dues or significantly more. Any suggestions on how to keep up with a new member class that equals what you already have? Again, I want our sorority to grow, and you're completely right, it is SO hard to recruit women when you don't have anyone that is as small as we are. Social aspects are easier when there are decent fraternities on campus that are around our size. But yes, decent fraternities aren't nearly as exciting as the "best" ones.
Honeychile- Give me as much advice as you can! FR for us was okay, we took more than last year, but still nowhere near quota/ total. COB hasn't been very good for us either. We have gotten 3 in the last few weeks of COB, but we are kind of at a stand still. I'm not sure why it is that we can't grasp the idea of COB (or formal recruitment for that matter). We just had a change in our membership(recruitment) VP and perhaps that could have hurt instead of helped? I really want to see our chapter succeed, but I really don't know how it's going to happen; I'm willing to give my all, but I can't be the only one. Our exec is committed, then a few other chapter members, and then there are the new members. We have a few great alumni, but the rest don't want to "waste" time and effort, and have pretty much given up. We have the support of Nationals, but they can only help us so much. They can't continue to send our ELC and AF every week.
