Thanks for your answer! I think recruitment is a struggle for us because we don't have as strong of a presence on campus (maybe because we're smaller, but we definitely can improve) and we aren't selective. For campus presence, I think social media is a huge huge deal, and that's an easy fix. I also think wearing letters often is important (our publicity chair is encouraging wearing letters on Wednesdays next semester) and getting involved in general. We have a lot of representation on Panhellenic council so that's good, but I think doing better during Greek week and participating in others' philanthropies could really help us out. I don't know if I can change our selectivity or not because I don't know how it really works, but our advisors make us invite back EVERYONE with a high enough GPA for the first two days of recruitment. Girls get invited back even if no one liked them, and I really think that makes us look desperate. I don't know if I would have the power to change that or not. I also think other chapters bash us a bit because our newest pledge class told us they did (outside of recruitment, not during). We can't really say that's the reason though because EVERY chapter gets bashed at least a little. We may also lack good conversation during recruitment- a lot of girls are GREAT at talking but there are a select few who, even though they were told not to, complained to PNMs about conversations being awkward and days being long. I'm not going to blame my chapter but I might mention improving workshops to help conversation skills. (this is what I could remember off the top of my head)
