Like about the skit being sorta blah, etc. If a lot of the members joined through COB, they may not have gotten to see other chapters to compare and contrast.
I hope you have a wonderful time with your new sisters!!

This is excellent advice! The first year I was an advisor I was thrown in at the last minute, we had a pretty unsuccessful recruitment. The chapter didn't even come close to making quota, the other chapters made quota easily. I was from a campus that was totally different, so I didn't really know what to tell them. I ran into one of the women who went through recruitment that year but pledged a different chapter. I happened to know her outside of that context. I asked her if I could pick her brain about a few things and she was a wealth of information. I used the information she had told me about why she liked her chapter so much and why she chose them to help the chapter change their strategies for the better.
