Some suggestions I have:
-Each member needs to make a list of women that they know who might make a good member. Each member knows at least one, despite what they might say. Just have them think about it. People often overlook great potential members who are right under our noses!
-Develop a plan to recruit these people. It doesn't have to be an all-out frontal "Do you want to COB our sorority?" assault. Let them get to know your sisters. Have some events and invite them without pressure.
-Get as much exposure as possible on your campus, or better yet where there are the highest concentrations of women. If you can eat as a group in the campus dining halls- do it. Wear letters and get your names out.
-Network. Ask your guy friends for assistance. Get them to talk you up to their female friends etc. Get them to introduce you to any unaffiliated women they know. The bigger the network the more contacts you will make.
-Most importantly, the entire chapter has to know that recruitment is the #1 priority for EVERYONE. Too often we leave it up to the "COB Chair" or the "Rush Committee". The most successful recruitment stems from high levels of participation at the individual level.
Good Luck. It will be hard work, but I know your chapter can do it!
