Basically the guys are looking at it like they are already dead, but they aren't! I'm trying to think of ways to get them motivated and excited again. These guys aren't the guys I met last year that were full of spirit about their organization!

Anyone have any ideas of what I can do to help out?

Is it a local or a National?

If 20 is the norm, then they are not that far off are they?

Try a School with 6 National NIC Fraternitys and having just 1 member who is graduating at the end of the year. Now that is a problem isnt it.

That was my Chapters problem.

1. If a NIC Fraternity, can they get HQ help?
2. If a local, then they need to pick up the pace and recruit!

Please PM me for further info.

Because they didn't think of doing that at all until you posted that.

Are you so special!

So, just what is your point of discussion and post?

Yeah that's the thing. They really aren't that far off but they have it set in their minds that they are. It's really messed up. I just wanted to get some fraternity guys' input on some things that have helped them recruite guys or ways to get them motivated.

It's a National Fraternity.

Emily,

Do you think the National organization knows the situation and mindset of the guys?

[emily0325]

I know the national organization knows about the numbers issue, but I don't know if they know about the mindset.

Is there a local alumni chapter or are the recent graduates around to help them out? I doubt there's much that anyone outside the group can do, but some closely associated brothers could probably do a lot to help the morale of the guys who are left.

Same question to you.
