I agree. However, as Tom suggested previously, they should request help from HQ *in addition to* getting help from alumni. It shouldn't hurt to ask.
Frankly, it seems like this chapter is looking at their situation as being "half as big" as the average chapter. What they should be doing is looking at the situation as being just ten members short from being at campus average. Getting there shouldn't be that hard.
Right now, each member should be looking at rushing two separate men each. That would give the chapter a pool of 20 men for a possible bid. All might be worthy of a bid, but if only half are worthy, then would bring the membership of the chapter up to the other chapters on campus. If only one-forth, they are well within sticking distance of 20 with 15 members. (5 pledges 10 actives). The new pledges may know quality men and should bring them around. If found to be worthy of a bid, then they can be extended a bid.
As such, a couple of good rushes can easily bump up the numbers with quality men.
