I don't mean any disrespect to you or your sorority, but if this frustration is what PNMs see when they go through recruitment, they aren't going to want to belong to your sorority. I advise one chapter who was down to 26 girls (total is 60). The chapter was in danger of losing their house and didn't have a lot or respect. Instead of thinking that this was it, they did recruitment as if they were just as big as the other sororities!! And they went out and SOLD their sorority. Their confidence and energy was infectious, and they went from 26 girls in the Fall to 63 by the end of the spring!

I don't think that is what is happening with our chapter at all. We are not in danger of losing our charter or anything. We are not frustrated with being small. We kindof like it (but we aren't limiting ourselves by wanting to stay small... we'll be happy to accept anyone that exemplifies our ideals) What we don't like is being known as the "small sorority" like thats a bad thing. Because when the campus perceives it as a bad thing, that is when things actually start to go bad.
My girls really have insane pride for our chapter, as well as the spirit and vivaciousness (sp?) that a lot of girls respond to, but then only half of them (roundabout) have the guts (faith?) to take a chance on "the small sorority". I guess that's where the SELL comes in: we're selling us, but we only close the deal half the time.
Does that make sense?
