i come from a school where there is only one NPC sorority, yet we have the hardest time getting girls to join. our chapter is very strong and has a good image on campus with most people, except for an organization(which happen to get the girls we want) who put crazy thoughts into their heads about how greeks are the devil!
another problem is that our school is what you would call a commuter college. we have no campus housing or dorms. most students that attend are from the surrounding areas, and despise going there. they also have part time jobs and live with parents.
our chapter only has 23 members, but we continue to stay alive. our international office continues to be amazed with the amount of things we accomplish.
formal rush on our campus is considered a big deal to us. we recruit like crazy and sometimes we'll have 7 or 8 girls come to our parties. sidewalks are usually covered in chalk, posters and flyers are everywhere, and sheet banners are hung in various places. we even attend a freshman orientation and hand out information to incoming students. during spring, we have more recruitment parties, and if we want more girls we have crown parties.
in august we had 20 girls come through recruitment, and we extended bids to 9. our numbers are starting to go up, but it's just taking time and a lot of effort. we unfortunately do not have the luxury of girls flocking to us, we have to get out on campus and do a lot of leg work.
