No D9 org is hurting for members, so we're looking for quality over quantity
The people that we want know who we are. They've either known all their lives, or they work like crazy finding out. Not to sound arrogant, but we don't have to actively recruit to get members. Sometimes, we may have small chapters. Those chapters may, at times, be REALLY small. That's not due to a lack of interest. But the standards are very high. Regarding housing ... As I said, the national orgs are not hurting for members, and well, honestly, there are higher priorities than housing, so a chapter isn't going accept X amount of people a semester just so they can pay for a house on campus.
And yes, we all pay dues. For life.
Wow ... this is so far off topic of the OP ... sorry, everyone!
