My chapter gets so much hate on greekrank and I think it's hurting our recruitment!!!

[FSUZeta]

OP, your first sentence in your response to me was very telling;Your chapter is well thought of by the Greek Life office. Has that helped with recruitment? Improved your campus image among peers? Now, I don't mean to transform from the virginal Sandy ala Grease to the slutty Sandy at the end of the film, but realize that saying to a PNM that the Greek Life office holds you in high esteem will get you nowhere. You want your peers to hold you in high esteem too and say good things about you( and come to your defense on GR). As to how you can require all members to belong to at least one club or org besides the sorority, you can vote it into your by-laws. The benefits are two-fold. requiring your members to join another group gives them the opportunity to be your chapter's unofficial representative. Group members will know that girl is an ABC and that one over there is a DE, etc. They interact with other Greeks in a positive way and slowly the perception of your chapter begins to change. The second benefit is to your members. Being a member of a sorority will look good on a resume as will being involved in a different activity and your members will be making contacts and honing their communication, originalzational, and interpersonal skills.
