Dear Sarah~
Hi, I am Adrienne...I was informed about your chapter's problem during AST National Convention this summer...one of my Delta Nu sisters called me on her cell phone while she was on the elevator and told me that you were having issues with numbers, as well as the fact that you no longer have a chapter advisor....
I am moving to Logan Square in Chicago on the 25th of August to finish my Master's Degree at UIC, so I will be very close to Delta Delta. I have already talked to Becky Pietrzak about meeting with all of your sisters and talking with you about ways to improve your rush program and recruit more women, and I will also provide you with some advising to help mend some of the problems your chapter may be having. I would even be more than happy to attend rush events on occasion to increase your numbers and help you out.
Delta Nu is a new chapter (only about 3 years old), and we have had this problem before. We started out with 25 women, went down to around 8, and now the chapter has almost 30 again. Although we don't use Formal Rush, which can work to our advantage, our girls would totally sympathize. It can be even more difficult when you don't have a house (which we have also had to deal with, like you do).
So, although I am not your fairy godmother, I will be there for you and do my best to help you through this.
One of my sisters, Cindy (the VP of Delta Nu) and I will be in Chicago on the 10th of August to move some of my stuff into my apartment. If you would like to gather some of your other sisters (or just you) for lunch, let me know!
So maybe I can help you, and in return I will be so happy to meet some sisters who I have never met! It will be nice to have some new friends in Chicago...
I look forward to hearing from you! Keep a positive attitude and things will work themselves out!
Tau Love and Mine, Adrienne
