You are doing the correct thing by connecting with women one on one, and your advisors are wrong.[/b] Period.

33 are you being a bit harsh on the advisors there? Sometimes when we try to apply a cookie cutter solution from a...dare I say it..."binder" the people we're trying to help get the wrong message, and ultimately we don't end up solving the problem. Advisors usually have good intentions. The "national" absolutely has the chapter's best interest at heart- they want their chapters to be successful!
The important thing for every chapter to know and understand clearly, struggling or not, is that when it comes to recruitment the advisors and the national ARE NOT GOING TO DO THIS FOR YOU. YOU MUST DO IT YOURSELF. They are there to support you, to give you suggestions and to provide resources but not to recruit the women for you.
