You must do what is best for you but before you take a drastic steps try doing what some people have suggested.

We were on an action plan for not meeting quota and total this past year so we what you are going through.

First off call on all your Alum to see if they can help out. Also, if you DCP isn't helpful contact your RCD or even CO. It may be that some of the sisters need to petition CO to go Alum or they need to disaffiliate. Also, have you guys gone through Vision. If you haven't or if it's been a while call to see if you can get a Vision retreat done ASAP - that can make a huge difference.

Regarding long meetings, did you follow Roberts Rules of Order exactly. We were having 3 and 4 hour meetings which means we weren't done until after 10:30 at night. This past year we have finally gotten our act together. If you didn't present at Eboard you don't present at the meeting period. If it is urgent you needed to contact the Archon and Vice that day or you don't present. Parliamentary procedure is followed exactly to the point, sisters will be asked to leave the meetings if they are called out of order multiple times.

As someone said make it fun. If all your meetings have been about business then start having at least one meeting a month that is fun. I know we're a business but if you don't have fun then why bother being in the sorority.

You need to build upon the 3 or 4 women who want the chapter to succeed. I know of one chapter that was done to only 3 women. The next recruitment they got up to 10. And they've been growing ever since.

Don't give up until you have exhausted all possible resources.
