Let's just say, hypothetically speaking, that the OP was talking about an NPC group with about 35ish members on a campus with 14 NPC groups and a chapter total of 80ish. Let's also say, hypothetically speaking, that there is a very supportive Greek Affairs office on the campus, and although the Greek population on campus is only about 10-12%, the Greek Affairs office is dedicated to seeing that percentage grow.

(Again, this is all hypothetical... )

Well, if HYPOTHETICALLY that was the case, then I would say that they need to reevaluate exactly how they are recruiting. Is it frills or no frills? If frills are allowed, then I would suggest meeting with girls who have just gone through and asking them exactly what they thought about each GLO's setup. Obviously, what the older members are coming up with is not effective. Therefore, CHANGE IT UP. Have your Editor and Publishing chair put up signs. Make sure girls wear letters, and [this is very important] portray themselves as people that others would like to be associated with.

I guess the overall question you need to ask yourself is, "What are we doing different from the chapters at total?" and then once you figure that out, "How can we change this?"

Go onward and outward.
