I agree that going back to being a local won't solve the problems you seem to be experiencing. Are other chapters at your school experiencing low numbers, or is it an individual chapter problem?
Poor attendance comes from poor morale. Not hard to figure out. What incentives do members have to attend? If everyone's pretty negative, nobody is going to want to hang out and work towards these goals of betterment.
As for poor finances, can you not collect dues?? Are your low numbers forcing you to have to pay bigger bills to your national, which you feel pressured by? Maybe the national can set up a payment plan...
You can certainly email me if you'd like. I have worked with numerous chapters in your situation, and many have turned things around.
