I don't know if this is the right forum to post this message in, but here goes...
I just found out at the beginning of this week that my chapter has lost 20 members
just here in the last little bit...that's not counting the ones who didn't come back after summer vacation and the ones who dropped at the end of last semester. It's getting pretty scary now, and it just makes me want to cry! I'm afraid we're below house total now (I know we are), and what's that going to do to us when it comes time to do fall recruitment? I can't believe it...I don't know what we're doing wrong! I almost lost my big sis, one of our founding members, more than once because she (like a lot of other old members) just weren't happy anymore. And I just can't figure out why this is going on! We're such a new chapter, only a few years old, and we don't have any negative reputations around campus...we're back to doing COB again and our recruitment chair is really gung-ho, so we hope to have built our membership back up by the end of this semester. But it isn't just the old girls who are quitting now, either; a lot of our newer ones have been leaving. Even though I'm not an officer, I'm really determined to help fix this...but how?? Has anyone ever had this happen before who can give me advice?
Oh, one other thing--I'm on a fairly large campus with about 14 sororities. Some of the others (which are really well-established) seem to be having membership issues, too, from what I've heard. However, there are three or four houses who are just HUGE...so how are they keeping their members???
