We're beginning to realize that after next year, half of our chapter is gone. We had trouble enough getting people to fill officer positions this election (I got hoodwinked into being Theta instead of Phi), I can't imagine how it will be next time when half the chapter is inelgible because they're graduating.
We do tell everyone to submit names for rush, but most people don't do it anyway (I freely admit I didn't because I suck at talking to people). Even with this attempt and an awesome week of Rush events, we only managed to get two people, one of which had already rushed once before but had to leave. I thought our Alumni Advisor was going to kill us. At Founders, he's going to tell our alumni not to give us any money for summer rush efforts, which I think does more harm than good and isn't logical in the least.

Whether you suck at talking to people or not, remember, recruitment is the life blood of any Zeta.
No new members, it dies, period
Graduating Brothers need to be replaced. Who replaces them? Not Grads, the Brothers who are in the Zeta.
So out of curisoity, do you not beleive in LXA, Your Brothers and Zeta?
Do you know who your ECL is? He is available for you, just ask!
He may not be able to get to your Zeta or email you asap, but He will!
I used to be the same way, but with the work I did with my local and LXA, I was able to do a turn around and as you can see, I am not bashful at all!
I Did, You can also! You are not an individual now, You are a Band Of Brothers who are here for you!
