How have they been unable to articulate? Is it something mentioned when they're at dinner, a survey, and email???

I suggest having a mandatory back-to-school meeting with all of the vegetarians (do it during their work week before recruitment so you know they'll all be at the house!). Tell them you want to give them the best choices for their dietary preferences and discuss your plans. Ask them for their feedback. Specifically tell them that you have "heard that sisters feel their needs aren't being met."

I think it is great that you are taking the steps to try and honor their requests.

Another idea. Ask all of the ladies in the chapter to submit their favorite recipes.... If you see some recurring themes, you will know best what the majority like to eat (including the veggies!)

Send a letter home to all of the parents at the beginning of the year, introducing yourself and how to email you with any suggestions they have. You might ask in the letter for especial help with those who are vegetarian, vegan, etc., by suggesting vegan products or recipes.

The chapter could even publish a cookbook as a fundraiser based off of this: A Recipe for My Sister.

Good luck! Just remember: 90% of the girls want food that won't make them fat, but they all want the occasional indulgence.
