Also, you might want to go over the International Membership Selection Process, are you setting your goals and what you want in a new member too high or too low?

I also think something what works is to have a good PR program. Get AOII's name out there by having members involved in campus organizations, church organizations, and local community organziations.

At Nu Beta, we do something called, Women of Excellence banquet each spring. It is a simple banquet that honors women of the community, university, athlete, church, Greek life, etc. and you put ads in your school newspaper advertising the banquet and to come and pick up applications at the AOII house (or whatever type of housing you have) and then your LC or Chapter decides on the women they want to honor. Have a simple banquet, we have our's during a sit down chapter dinner, and honor these womens with a rose and a simple plaque. Nu Beta has been doing this for about 7 years now and it works well. I have also seen some of the recipients put this on their resume like it says, Alpha Omicron Pi Woman of Excellence Winner. How amazing is that?

Also, is your chapter receiving help from a MRC from Headquarters? If not talk to your chapter adviser because those women are highly tranined in recruitment and after recruitment plans for COR and they are amazing tools for chapters.
