Kevin, I'd be careful about those old traditions. Sometimes the traditions and the old ways of doing things are important. To me as a founder, I found nothing more irritating than a bunch of new guys who came in after me and thought they knew everything. That is where the lull comes from I think. These challenges that the new guys provide before the fraternity is solidified.
Max is also right. I want to see a damn consultant at our campus again but there isn't a trip planned anytime soon. I don't know if it's because the office hasn't sent one or because our president chose to not get one. Either way it was helpful.
Another thing is that the founders were the most motivated. The rest of our founders, including me, are graduating this year and are more focused on the rest of our lives so this contributes to the lull also.
We pulled in the second largest pledge classes last year and this year. It's a little frustrating seeing your spring rush not be as great.
