i finally got in touch with someone from hq who visited the chapter last semester. she really felt that apathy was a problem. i totally agree. she didn't have any suggestions on how to tackle this and basically said this isn't the worst chapter she has seen. she felt that the chapter didn't really ask her for suggestions or help and that they seemed to feel like they didn't need help. ok great. these are all things that i already knew. in my "real" job, i have to motivate employees, so i know how to do that. i feel that if i came to a chapter meeting and tried to moviate the girls, i would be wasting my time. i think the chapter would take the motivation better from the president, but since the exec council doesn't think they have a problem, then i don't know how to make them want to motivate the chapter. how can i help the exec council understand that they have a problem?
i completely agree that the alumnae need to be informed. most of the alumnae are pretty burned out with the chapter because of things that happened over the past few years. the chapter hasn't kept an advisor for more than six months if that gives you any idea of how many alums they have burned bridges with. do you think it is my responsibility as the advisor to inform the alumnae or is it the chapter's?
thanks for all of your help thus far!
