Need Help!

Tell them the money you pay isn't about buying friends. It's about your organization being able to function and operate. There are very few groups that are completely free of charge. Most all require some type of dues.

My husband has told people that IF fraternity membership really was about buying friends, he'd have to count it as one of the best lifetime investments he ever made.

What is the culture of this campus? What are previous practices that this GLO has used to recruit that worked without being preachy?

This is also where cultural differences across GLOs come into play. When I was nonGreek, and since the NPHC GLOs have a different way of sharing info about their GLOs, nobody had to "tell me" or "explain" anything. I knew about the events and was told to research. If I ever said "you all are paying for friends", the members wouldn't spend much time teaching or persuading me either way.

If they had kept trying to educate and inform me about their GLO I would think they were desperate and in dire need for members AND friends.
