~ More sessions on what is expected from a member (or to become a member) of XYZ----very FRANK discussions (I had to piggyback off Miss Priss's post because I thought this was a GOOD suggestion). Knowing is half the battle. 
~ More publicity in terms of public events and chapter achievements (i.e. the success of a fundraiser, etc). This may help to dispel the perception that BGLO's are _______(organized gangs, don't do nothing, no longer relevant, etc.).
~ Regarding publicity, maybe the campus/city's local NPHC could start a quarterly newsletter listing such events and achievements. This newsletter could be sent to local high schools, news media, campus/city administrators, local interest groups (i.e. NAACP, Urban League, etc.). The more folks know about the good things going on (instead of the bad things that usually get the attention) the better.

Thanks H1974, great minds do think alike! But I totally meant that from the members' perspective in terms of what makes a good member. Remember ANY event takes money but it's just our .02 cents right?
E06, (I hope I'm not out of place by asking) I guess my question is can the intake process ever BE fixed? There seems to be a huge disparity between how the "process" should be done. We all know that MOST undergrads want a "process" ( I won't get into the paper vs real issue--not the place for that). However, because of the changing times, new organizations attracting "quality" "clients" (lol @clients), and the massive lawsuits that has occurred in each HBGLO there must be a renaissance (if I may use) in the guidance, instruction, and facilitation of incoming members...don't you think?
