Also, try not to fall into the "we just don't do well in formal recruitment so we'll just put all of our effort into COB" trap. Any chapter can do well at formal with some work, I've seen it happen firsthand.
Be sure to start working on how to do better at formal recruitment (while also doing COB to boost #'s). Start with some brainstorming. Try and figure out which parties aren't working for you guys. Ask yourself if your conversation skills could stand to be improved. Contact your national organization and see if they can have a consultant come in and help you guys prepare.
After my chapter had a pretty bad recruitment, we did COB like crazy all year while also working to improve for formal. Our HQ was very helpful and sent down a consultant to help us prepare for recruitment 2 weeks prior. We ended up doubling in size and making quota the next year during formal. So it can happen.
