I tell struggling chapters that I work with this all the time:
there are two circles when it comes to your fate - one circle contains everything IN your control the other contains everything outside your control. Right now by concentrating on what other chapters are doing/saying/thinking about your chapter is focusing on what you CAN'T control. No matter how unfair awful mean this is focusing on that which you cannot control will never help your chapter. Instead turn your energy inward, examining every aspect of your chapter's recruitment efforts and work to improve the situation.
Yes this is "tough love" and may sound mean but it is also true.
