Again, congrats on you new chapter! Since you and your fellow charter members are African-American, you may have to do the reverse on what I suggested and try to get members of other races. Some on campus may see ya'll as an Af-Am sorority. And since there is are Greeks on your campus (I did a little research) try to promote to them as a way to meet others as well as particpating in other community service activies in which some may not be used to.

Also promote that OPA is as much as a sorority as any social one. I was in OPA five years before I became a Delta. I got comments from D9 Greeks that I wasn't a part of a "real" sorority (I couldn't help it that the sorors were suspended while I was there). But I felt as much as a member of OPA as I am a member of DST. Some of my sisters even when out of their way to give me a Af-Am Ophia! There were girls who were in OPA and NPC sororities and one of our charter members is also a Delta.

I wish much luck and keep us posted!
