It's been my experience that there's a low retention rate if a group hazes, (which groups can be very good at hiding) or if the new members see a problem in the group. They're better about spotting things like this. It there is a lot of back stabbing or talking bad about girls when they're not around, why would they join?
If its hazing, then you as the advisor need to be around as much as possible to make sure everything is going alright for a while.
If it's the bad attitude, try and plan a bunch of activities that build better bonds. Its not the event thats important, but the time spent with each other and having fun.
