Lana,

I come from a small school with only 4 NPCs. This means that reputations can take over a house and haunt them for years. It is up to the chapter to make the decision that they want to improve. I don't know about the practices of your GLO, but I assume that there is some sort of national program that is geared towards membership improvement and recruitment. How to find, keep and make better "GLO" ladies. Contact your HQ and request a consultant come spend a weekend with the chapter and really work on improving the chapter from the inside.

I understand what you are saying about appearances. It doesn't seem to me that you are saying that you want the house with the "perfect" and gorgeous girls necessarily, but a house full of sisters who take pride in themselves and their GLO. On my campus, it was an unwritten law that you don't wear your letters or pin unless you are presentable- hair combed, teeth brushed, no sweats, etc. You can't sell your organization if others do not percieve you as taking pride in it.

Hope those ideas help

Melissa
