My chapter has seen this kind of problem before and the cause is deeper than superficialities. People aren't showing up to events because they don't want to - because the chapter to them is a chore. To these people, being greek means going to parties, hanging out, drinking, etc., and probably not about self-improvement and leadership development. Additionally, if you are all supposed to be friends, why wouldn't these members want to spend time with friends, much less brothers/sisters? My suggestion is to have a chapter retreat as soon as possible. Do whatever it takes to get these people to show up, and then once they're there, get them to open up about what they want out of greek life. Maybe everyone will learn something new about everyone else. You'd be surprised what kind of positive effect this can have on a chapter.
