I hate this excuse so much
I have never really been that big of a fan of excuses to begin with. I don't want to seem like I'm picking on you, but man, it really upsets me when people in my own chapter make this excuse
If you operate under the mentality that you are somehow disadvantaged from the very beginning, then you are going to end up writing your own destiny.
I go to a school where 80% of the school commutes, the University itself is less than 50 years old, about 30% of the school's male population is international (the type that almost never joins a Fraternity) and the leading major is in the school of engineering and computer science.
The perfect recipe for failure in Fraternity recruitment, and there are still chapters that get 20 man pledge classes
The reason why we are successful is because we try and learn everything we can. We read books, we go to conferences, and we analyze our mistakes.
The first step to fixing your recruitment problem is to stop thinking the way you are. Start fresh, and motivate your brothers to recruit.
Kill the negativity, and I guarantee you will start seeing success
