OK, so this is just a marketing problem. You want to come up with a pat, said verbatim by every girl statement that says (and we can brainstorm this here until it's right) something like:
We would love for you to consider membership in Alpha Xi Delta. Because financial responsibility is a big part of your lifelong membership, you should not pursue membership until you are ready to shoulder the fees.
The pitfalls to avoid are any sort of promise for future membership or sense that you are turning them down just because of the money. I think my version above is a little too clinical for 18 year old girls to hear, so maybe someone can soften that up a bit while still keeping it on point.
But if you have a chapter house, you need to get those numbers up and 10 or 12 versus 6 is huge. Good luck and hopefully this will work for you!
