My sorority is about to be non-existant! Help!
I am the president of the oldest sorority at Lousiana College. It is not a nationally recognized sorority. My college is a baptist institution, so we have to meet certain stipulations concerning our activities, i.e. no drinking, no smoking, no dances, etc. 5 years ago our sorority had at least twenty members active. Now we are down to four actives. In the past 5 years, our sorority developed a reputation as the "party sorority", and therefore, began attracting girls who were more interested in getting drunk than performing the required pledging activities. Therefore, this year, I made it a requirement that activities which were not allowed on campus should not be discussed during the meetings. ((Last year, my sorority threw a huge halloween party... Did us a whole lot of good, huh?)) What can we do to attract more girls? The Rush night at my college attracted only -10- girls!! We got four of them, but it is rare that all of the initial pledges remain until the end.
Help! I do not want my sisterhood to die out as a joke!
