binks--
As a small chapter, I advise you to look at the positive sides of your group. So many small groups get hung up on the fact that they are small in comparison to other chapters on the campus. So, to sell yourselves, you have to be willing to show all that you have to offer in terms of sisterhood and fun and philanthropy, but also, let PNMs know how they will take a huge role in shaping the future of your group. I can't emphasize this enough. When groups get to critical levels, (on our campus 10 is very critical), it's time to focus rebuilding and not control. The PNMs you recruit will be the ones to carry on the legacies, and if they are aware of how important they are to the future of your group, this could be a really exciting venture for them.
We had a chapter at a school that got to critical numbers. The school had an interest group who was thinking of trying to start a new sorority. Instead, the women of our chapter offered the interest group the opportunity to be part of their organization and rebuild it. It worked, and today, this chapter is over total.
Best of luck binks!
