Can a dry chapter make it?

[chuckster]

I am curious to see what others opinions are on a dry chapter......

I have been a part of ATO for 3 years now. I joined because of one of my friends older brothers. Anyways, we were started back up a few years back and were forced to be dry. This puts us at a huge disadvantage when rush rolls around. We can't EVER have events at our house. This kills our social aspect, which is about 90% of what incoming freshmen are looking for. The other houses easily rush twice as many as we do with half the effort. We have consulted, talked, and spent hours trying to find ways around this, but in the end the dry aspect just seems to hurt us with recruitment.

What do other ato's think about this???
