One of the best phrases I've ever learned in life is "You gotta wanna." I can remember when (after I graduated) my chapter took only one new member in Formal Recruitment. They had so much going for them, but somehow, it wasn't enough. I remember looking at the faces of the PNMs during Pref thinking, "uh, oh..."

So, Bid Day came, and after comforting everyone, a few of us were rehashing things on the way home when one said, "Well, they're masters of their own destiny now." It got back to them, and they decided that they WERE going to change their chapter around! They were able to take a few women via COB, but the next Formal Recruitment, they took half of quota, then still worked at COB, then the next, they did better, etc - until they now have gone three years of Total, and won our International Chapter Improvement Award.

Okay, lots of great words, but the bottom line comes back to:
1) What does the chapter want out of being in a sorority?
2) What are they willing to do to get there - do they want it badly enough?
and
3) What could we do to help?

If the chapter doesn't want to improve badly enough, you need to get those people graduated, and start with some women who are excited about it!
