My chapter doesn't have a formal committee responsible for Reclamation and Retention. That would be a good idea for chapters to consider doing.
Y'all are right. A Soror has to want to be active. Otherwise we'd be beating ourselves black and blue trying to encourage someone to be active. Sometimes, that's just the way it is and you have to decide when it's just hopeless and move your attention on to Sorors who want to be active but have "issues".
Soror Ideal08 - I do agree about having real excuses. Sometimes in life, things do come up and we get into a financial slump. It would be nice if Sorors could maybe help each other out in that siuation. Maybe if a Soror can't pay dues and that's why she's inactive, maybe all of the Sorors can pitch in and help. Depending on how many Sorors are in the chapter, that may be only $5, $10 or $20 per Soror. Isn't that what Sisterhood is all about ("We help each other...for we know there's no other....") I think that any Soror who was in a financial situation like that and her Sorors helped her out like that would genuinely feel gratitude and would really try and stay active as a result.
