I totally agree with 33girl, don't be afraid to lose people that aren't pulling their weight. Member attendance can be a big struggle but don't back down on your rules, people break them because they know they can.

Get the motivated people together and start making things happen. Try to have a mixer or a social function, if your brothers see some type of product coming from their membership it should motivate them to get more involved (they won't feel like they're working for nothing). Some type of athletic tailgate is a good alumni event you might want to try too. If funding allows try having a Founder's Day banquet and invite alumni.

As far as recruitment goes, remember to be recruiting constantly and not just during rush week. If you can improve your campus image and fix some of your internal problems I really think that recruitment will pick up too. A good pledge class can change everything.

Good luck to you and your brothers! If you're going to go down, at least do it fighting to stay alive.
