On my eboard I recently ran into a problem from our social chair. His first semester he was elected he did a rather poor job: he set up 3 raids, which is 2 less than our usual 5, and of those 3, 2 of the sororities flaked giving us obviously fake excuses: "We ran out of money" for the first one and the second one claimed they had a schedule mishap and planned an important initation event on that day and were unable to reschedule.

At first I blamed the social chair for not keeping good contact, not following up, etc. For our next semester we have a grand total of 1 confirmed raid and the social chair is claiming that sororities are not answering phone, ignoring email/voicemail or being plain honest: their sorority isn't interested in doing events with us. At first I thought these were excuses, so I attempted to take over for him and ran into the same thing. After trying to contact a social chair for a sorority multiple times and being ignored and rejected, I now believe what my social chair has said.

It's true, a lot of our guys are to blame for not being quite social or interesting, but we've never had it this bad in the past and I feel our consistency of guys is just as good.

As far as I know, our fraternity didn't actively or purposefully do anything to piss off other sororities. We row walk occasionally and most sorority girls are not hostile to us.

To fraternity men: Have you had this problem before? How did you fix it?

To sorority women: Have you ever blacklisted a chapter? How can you get a fraternity to do events with you?
