What are the BEST ways to get men there?

[Firehouse]

I see that you are a Beta.
I always tell rush chairmen to spend half their time rushing the brothers, individually and separately. Men will follow other men who are leaders. You will get nowhere making speeches and pleading in chapter meeting. Fines and threats don't work with 19-year-olds. They will respond to yuor leadership if you approach each man separately, away from the others - in their room, over coffee, walking to class - and tell them about your vision for the chapter and ask them for their support. If you ask them directly to support the chapter, and support you, they wil come to specific events. You will buld a cadre of disciples who will copy you and do the same thing. It's an amazing process to watch. remember, men follow other men who lead. And, you're not going to be successful leading from the front of the room. One on one is the key. All the best to you.
