Not sure where you got that from what I said at all. The attitude of the chapter is, ultimately, up to them. I never claimed to have unlocked the secret, except perhaps with those pills that Jessie took on Saved by the Bell.
It's in the best interest if the chapter to try and have the upbeat attitude because worn down, worn out, tired of COB-ing chapters struggle to COB because they're - shocker - worn down, worn out and tired of it. Is it easy to shake off that feeling? No, I speak from experience there. Is it a good idea to try? Hell yes. Did I claim to have the magic spell to cause that? Not at all. It requires leadership from within the chapter and HQ support, not just pressure to meet numbers.
Blah blah blah, it's all nice to say here, but it has to be taken to heart and implemented at the chapter level. Only each chapter knows what it takes to get its members motivated - unless the officers are so lost or burnt out that HQ really does know better.
But not trying at all will lead to that downward spiral that we've seen happen to so many chapters.
