Maybe you should be a bit more discreet about things.

If what you emphasize is partying and alcohol, you're not going to attract good members. Simple as that. In your other posts, you basically admitted to underage drinking and hazing as being what sets you apart from the other greek organizations on campus.

Best of luck with that.

I really don't think it's because of my leadership - I think it's just a mix of personalities. Has anyone experienced this before, or have suggestions on how to "fix" it?

QFP.

The first suggestion would be to stop airing all of your dirty laundry on the internet, especially since you advertise your chapter in your signature. If I knew that my president was airing chapter business to the entire world I would probably not have much respect for her either.

I do sincerly hope that your chapter is able to regain a sense of sisterhood. You are just going about it entirely wrong.

Perhaps your mess has something to do with the events you hold, such as the "sushi and saki bomb night?"

But what do I know?

I really, really want to push the "like" button right now. Well done, 33girl.

Wow.

And I know I've read a good number of those threads before (and responded to at least one), but I guess I just never paid attention to the fact that they were all created by the same person.

GammaDelt, question: You appear to have too many issues to even know how to go about dealing with them. How did this happen? I'm sure the chapter didn't survive 40+ years while carrying the burden of all of these problems on it's shoulders the entire time. What happened? What changed?

And what can you change now?

As has been shown in all of your other threads, you continue to ask for help, but you're not willing to do anything with the information. You need to seriously analyze the direction in which your chapter is going.. and fix it. You might lose some people in the process (but let's face it, that's happening now anyway). You need to accept that fact, communicate with the people in your chapter (and alumnae!!) who are willing to put in the work to turn things around, and just do it.

Otherwise, you're not going to have a chapter anymore.

I am in the EXACT same seat as you. I got to "be" and couldn't go any further.

What's the opposite of a QFP? lol

DISCLAIMER: This is a very "bitchy" response....If you get offended easily-you might not want to read it. I was just disgusted with GammaDelt.

Indyghib, I am right there with you! I have determined this is one of the many reasons I think 33girl is awesome!

To GammaDelt, a few things:
1.) Stop airing your dirty laundry on here!

2.) I find it funny that you complained about the music organizations like SAI not being a "Real" Greek organization, yet I think YOUR organization is FAR FROM a "Real" Greek organization...

Why? Well, let's start with the fact that you pretty much made a mockery out of SAI and Phi Mu Alpha (or the other music orgs. on your campus) by calling them out as being "fake" and I NEVER see anyone from those GLOs coming on Greek Chat asking for help with constituion bylaws, membership selection, running meetings, etc. Maybe you ask those questions because (aside from class) you lack a very important thing: An Advisor!

I really like how, in one thread, you complained about half your pledges dropping (when you only get between 2-4 each semester because you can't advertise) and then in another thread you talked about your sisters not wanting to give a bid to an "overweight" girl. Beggars can't be choosers! Maybe THAT is YOUR problem...I also thought it lacked class (and discretion) that you would have the audacity to talk about some "overweight" girl on this site, with your GLO in your signature during a certain time period. If that girl came on this site, she could have seen that. Shame on you! Who do you (and your "sisters") think you are?

Stop being drunken skanks who put down other GLOs if you want people to join you. I would NEVER join a group like yours. As a local, you should be happy that people would even give you a chance. I know a lot of people who would never even consider a local organization. I have had some friends tell me they would rather join the "worst" or "lowest ranked" National GLO on their campus than the "best" or "highest ranked" Local GLO on their campus. At least the local GLOs that many of these GC members are members of-are respectable! Gamma Delta Pi is a joke-in my eyes. It is a joke because YOU made it that way.

Oh, and don't try to blame the poor retention rates on the Administration-it is YOU and YOUR SISTERS who make girls NOT want to join. You aren't even recognized. If ANYONE is considered a "Club with letters" it is YOU and Gamma Delta Pi. Good Luck with your "CLUB" because it is more like a JOKE!
