This is awesome advice and an amazing action plan! Being alumna of a once struggling chapter, this advice taken to heart will definetely get your chapter to where you want to be.
I know this has been said many times already in this thread, but it is so important that it's all about "Quality over Quantity." Don't bid women, just to bid women.
Another important thing that you need to remember is retention. Getting a large new member class is great, but if they don't stick around, then it's all been for nothing.
Continue to strengthen your sisterhood. I am continually amazed by the chapter that I advise that every time I go to the house how much the geniunely all like and care for one another and it really shows. make sure that your chapter buys into the 'larger chapter' concept. Continually when I was in college and even after, some of the members were afraid to become a larger chapter because they thought that it would detract from their sisterhood and they wouldn't know one another. Now that they've grown they realize that this isn't an issue.
