I have to agree with rounding up Alumni that want to see the chapter strong.... not relive their "party days". Have them come around and let them see the state of the chapter, hopefully the justified outrage will be a kick in the pants to some of the slackers.

As for IHQ, I would contact them and ask for support, specifically chapter involvement and recruitment. If you can't save the seniors from themselves, hopefully you can minimize the damage to the new guys..... they are the future so if you can set them on the right course you have a great step in saving your chapter.

Have you tried giving up a position or two to one of the new guys who you think is interested and responsible? That could take some pressure of you and allow you to focus on membership standards and involvement. The most important thing to remember is to take baby steps, and raise the bar slowly..... and if that doesn't work i'm sure your IHQ will lower the boom.

All in all good luck!
