I think all of our brothers are seriously involved in at least one other activity which is good. However, we are a Chapter of 15 men on a campus of 10,000 undergraduates, so, in my opinion, we need to be getting our letters and our name visible on campus on a large scale as well. We all have friends from other activites and student associations that we have been putting into our names list, but we are also making a big push to bring in people who are complete strangers. I have a few friends who are RAs, so I am working with them to get access to the freshmen. Our school is pretty strict when it comes to things like dorm storming, though, so we have to be creative. We also have to be very careful; we can't afford to spend a significant portion of our semester budget on a hefty fine.
We do have a sorority on campus that we have traditionally worked with in the past, but none of the brothers have any contacts with any of its current members. I think that, personally, we are all confident in what we are as a brotherhood and as a Fraternity. The elephant in the room is that nobody outside of us and our close friends really knows that we exist. I think that once our campus visibility goes up, we will have a bit of an easier time generating interest from prospective members. It will take a lot of work, but I have faith.
