Why?????
Good Topic:
Seven Reasons why there is a decline
1) Too many NPHC Chapters talk bad about each other amongst non-greeks
In the areas I attend it seems like the students who are not in BGLOs know more about the issues then some of the members do i.e. "This org gets no respect" Blah Blah Blah. Remember keep business within the Family.
2) Programs Programs Programs
We fail to advertise what we do the same way we advertise our parties and stepshows. For years my chapter would have 500 or so people come to our parties but if we were lucky 15 Bros coming to a Project Alpha. And the community programs sometimes take more work than the parties.
3) History History History
Take a moment to be proud and knowledgeable of your history. You would be amazed how many people are impressed by your knowledge of your organization. That means more than knowing the founders and who was what president but real substance such as voter campaigns and different things such as that.
4) The Process
We can sit here and debate till the Apes come home about the process and what it should be but I think we can agree that the intake process lacks something. Work internally to improve it within our own organizations.
5) Para and Suit Day
Take 1 day out of the week that is Para day and just for whatever reason start something in the Middle of the Student Quad. A stepoff, a chant challenge or something.
6) Be clear
Make sure to remind everyone that your organization is not for everyone - Keep the mystery alive in why certain people join ABCD.
7) Learn to Have fun
Sure we are in this for different reasons but we must remember that we are in this for Brother and Sister hood. What is wrong with me hanging out with Frat and Sorors and other greeks - Road trip to another School and party till somebody says "You ain't gotta go home but you gots to get the heck up outta here!"
Solutions for a simple world LOL
