Loudchick--

Where are the alums from your chapter?? Get them to come and help you!! You were successful once, and with hard work, you can try to be again. Having only 4 women is a death sentence during formal recruitment, and unlike others, I respect your decision to not participate. It's just like a group starting a colony would do. BUT, the colonies then have a big push with alumnae and international volunteers to recruit women. You don't have the luxury of a HQs, but you do have alums, and if they care about your chapter and are in your area, they should be willing to come and help!! Showing commitment to your organization is a huge deal, and if the four of you do that, along with your alumnae, maybe that will help. As for getting an NPC group to come there, Kent's panhel would have to vote on that I'd think.
