another thing to consider is using the 10% rule to your advantage. We all know that in every organization there is (more or less) 10% of the group who does 90% of the work. Instead of fighting with the 90% who just want to be members and not much more, work with the 10%. Maybe you can set up COB teams of 4 or 5 girls who are really good at it and enjoy the process (they do exist ;0). Now, don't beat them up and burn them out, but 5 girls who are enthusiastic can do a lot more when working together than 100 can who don't feel motivated or compelled to participate. And if you can find 2 teams of 5 girls who can maybe go after different segments of the population or focus on different aspects of recruitment, all the better. And hopefully your new members will be interested in being part of that team since they are your strongest resource for recruitment. Does your sorority have any regional or national training? Maybe as a reward to these girls who put in the extra effort, you can send them to this training. It would work as an incentive AND they learn more about how it is done most successfully from their sisters at other schools.
