We don't care if we are recognized or not, out priority is to prepare college students into professional men and have them ready for the real world. All the founding fathers pledged the process we made up to pass on to the next line, so we were never lazy. Our pledge process is four moths long, took fathers six because of the trial and errors. All I am asking for is opinions, not insults, not disregards, just simple pros and cons, but if you see it to yourselves to treat us as idiots, wannabes, and unprofessional than don't bother answering because I'm sure your founders would be rolling in their graves. And if you must unacknowledge us then do it in a professional mature manner, thank you.

First of all -- chill the fuck out.
Unless your ORGANIZATION was founded very recently, you have to have some alums. You're all brothers -- reach out to the alums from the other chapter.
Regarding the bold -- I doubt you would have said that if it wasn't based on your mission. If your organization was founded to accomplish what you've said, then how would you mold young women into professional men? And if going co-ed was your goal all along, then you shouldn't have brought a single-sex organization to your campus.
It sounds like the underlying issue is numbers. You can get your numbers up by boosting your recruitment efforts. Read the recruitment threads for ideas. Also, while being a national organization is a fine long-term goal, you need to make sure your ducks are in a row
before trying to expand. There is A LOT of work that goes on with the higher-ups in a national GLO, so there's no sense in growing something that doesn't work in the first place (it'll cause more harm than good). Figure out what you stand for, figure out what is keeping potential members away, fix that, THEN worry about going national.
I know you're new and you're on the defensive, but us saying "Why?" or "Consider doing..." does
NOT mean "OMFG IDIOT STOP ASKING US QUESTIONS"
Take the advice and keep it moving. Good luck.
