I am a member of a local sorority, Alpha Sigma, some things we associate with are the colors blue and yellow, daffodil flowers, owls, the moon and pearls, We are the oldest local sorority in the state of Wisconsin, and also the first in our state. Our current chapter size is 40 members, last fall our recruit size was 18, then this spring it was only 5. We are hoping to bring in a large group this fall, however we could use some help. Seeing that we have no "national" board to turn to, I am hoping that you all can come up with some suggestions for me. We are going up against three other national sororities, with big names, Delta Zeta, Sigma Sigma Sigma and Gamma Alpha Omega. Along with a few other NPHC sororities, AKA, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho and Zeta Phi Beta.
We are trying to plan a theme for recruitment and came up with a few ideas, Masquerade, Jungle, Goddesses, etc. I would love to hear more also if you have any...
Hopefully along with a theme, we could come up with some sort of "slogan" to go with it...
Also, do any of you have any recruitment events that work really well for bringing in girls, or keep them entertained.
Any and all advice would be SO helpful!!

Sorry for the double post, but I had to fix your message. You are not the oldest sorority in the state of Wisconsin.
Just at the University of Wisconsin-Madison alone:
* Kappa Kappa Gamma established their Eta Chapter in 1875.
* Delta Gamma established their Omega Chapter in 1881.
* Gamma Phi Beta's Gamma Chapter was installed in 1885.
* Kappa Alpha Theta installed Psi Chapter in 1890.
* Pi Beta Phi installed Wisconsin Alpha in 1894.
* Alpha Phi installed Iota Chapter in 1896.
Delta Delta Delta's Mu Chapter was also installed the same year you were founded. All of these chapters are currently functioning, so saying you are the oldest sorority in Wisconsin would be incorrect. I do believe, however, that you are the oldest local in the state.
