Trying to rebuild my fraternity - techzbt @ Georgia Tech
Well, here's the story. I was a founding father of my colony of Zeta Beta Tau when I was a freshman. We were installed with 13 men but haven't had more than that since. My fraternity alumni corporation has a house on campus, but it is in poor condition, we lived in it my sophomore year but they decided to kick us out to put another fraternity in who they thought could pay the bills better. Since being off campus we've had a really tough time. There are 32 fraternities on my campus and only 2 off-campus. We are recognized by both our IFC and our national fraternity. The average fraternity size on campus is around 60, with the largest around 100. We are the smallest currently with 9 brothers. This fall rush we got 0 new members even though our alumni spent several thousand dollars on food, events, and publicity. We had less than 10 people by our house the entire night of rush (we were allowed to use our on-campus house for that week). We are hoping to return to our on campus house next year but we need about 15 people to live in the house to make it work (they don't have to be brothers). We are having an "info session"/rush event in the student center tonight. We ran giant ads in the newspaper the last 2 weeks and put up as many fliers on campus as we could without getting aux services mad at us.
I'll update you with how it goes.
