Are you advocating committment in the face of irrelevancy?
People join GLO's because they meet a perceived need. They stay as long as those needs are met.
The lament is usually, where are our seniors? Where have they gone?
The reality is that we are social organizations but our social programming is mostly geared towards Freshmen and Sophomores.
In fact most social chairs of my acquaintance are usually sophomores or juniors and its a stepping stone position for the exec board.
I believe that in order to hold more interest we need to revamp our social officers and make the position more of a "cruise director" where they are programming in a way that meets the needs of almost every group in the chapter.
Some schools of course are lucky, there is such pressure and its so much a part of their identity to stay active in the group that retention is a breeze.
