After graduation in May we will have 9 regular members and 2 grad school members. The school will still recognize us as a club as long as we get pledges but we make the official decision to disband. We used to have 8 offices, last year we had 5, this year we'll only have 2.

I may have phrased it wrong, we're not completely doing away with our constitution, but a lot of the things regarding members is being disregarded this year due to size. I've never actually heard of someone leaving a club and going to another, so I figure that's not allowed or no one has ever tried it.

When I pledged we only had 7 pledges and ended up losing 2 before the process was over. 1 of the girls from my pledge class is inactive this semester due to grades and is transferring at the end of the semester and another is studying aboard this semester, but is also planning to transfer after she gets back.

Back in the 90's our club was in the same situation and a couple girls who wanted to pledge my club the next year talked up the club to all their other freshman friends (you can't pledge until you're a sophomore here) and they all decided to pledge because they didn't want a club with such an amazing history and legacy on our campus to die away. Is there a way to incorporate this into a rush without making it seem as though we are desperate or trying our last resorts?

What is the best way to show the girls that a small club isn't necessarily a bad thing, but still let them know we would like lots of pledges?

Another question might be what are some good PR ideas that would make girls interested in coming to our rushes. At my school we have 5 girls' clubs and to pledge you have to go to 4 of the 5 clubs' rushes to be considered for a bid, so how do we prevent girls from making us that club they don't rush?

I hope that clears things up. If you have any questions I'll try to explain as best as I can. Again, thank you so much.
