We're getting to the beginning of our "year" - we've just put out a member interest survey, and choose online meeting dates and times, and scheduled our first meeting for the first week in September.

Today, we had 2 members (that's 10% of our group!) decide to leave because of the commitment. Is this normal?

I don't want this to start a chain reaction of everyone getting spooked and leaving...

Any advice for the newbie president?? Much appreciated

This is your problem. Get a few other women who are already sisters involved. I know pledging in BSP is different, but the only way a chapter full of newbies works is if there's a national/advisory board watching over it.
