Just like you said, remember why you joined your chapter in the first place. Pass that idea on to others.

I helped my TBS chapter with recruitment this year, we are at 9 members when our brother org is at 23 or so. We only "compete" aganst eachother for numbers, so its sad to see that TBS is small.

We look at the fact that we are very close and we are very strong that way. Show people that your chapter isnt about letters on a sweatshrit and show them that you have TRUE sisterhood!

Have sisters bring their friends down, if there are only 4 of you then you all must have friends who arent in the chapter - why arent they?! Show people that with 4 sisters you can make traditions, not follow them, and the same goes for being a local - you are unique.

Look for non-traditional people. International students might be too afraid to look into greek life and they might be the best sisters you can get! Look into grad students who might have missed out before - ask any Phi Sig chapter that has grad students - they rock! Open yourself to people who wouldnt normally join an org. Go to meetings of other clubs and orgs, get involved. In Phi Sig we are nationally told we have to be in two other campus activities. I am in the band, and let me tell you we have got more members who were in band than any other org - we once made up almost the entire colorguard!

If you need any other ideas, please PM me or IM me @ StarletAngel521 -we can share ideas, seeing that I am the pres of my TBS chapter and also recruiting for my small 3 member Beta Sigma Phi chapter!
