I'm gonna second something annabella said: it'll pick up eventually. You can't expect to have a 15 person pledge class one year and 60 person class the next. Yeah, it sucks that you don't have support from your chapter's alumni, but you have to build that up. Are there alumni in the area who aren't from your chapter but moved there after? We have support from women who went to school all over the place but live here now.
It sounds like you're on the right track (but maybe with a little more discretion), so just hang in there.
