I don't have any "tried and true" tactics as of yet, but the way I see it, there are three types of Brothers:
1) The young and single
2) The married (with children)
3) The retirees
I think that no matter what you do, make sure you have your target brothers in mind. Research, think it through. Ask yourself:
"Can I reclaim a brother in his fifties with a chapter happy hour?"
"Will Brothers with children prefer weeknight chapter meetings or Saturday morning/afternoon meetings?"
"How can we attract graduates of the last decade while still retaining our chapter's flavor?"
"What type of events will draw ALL types of Brothers?"
So, I don't know....this is an ongoing issue in my chapter, and I hope we are able to reclaim all types of Brothers to create a truly intergenetational chapter.
