Why are you spending the time doing that, instead of getting them involved in actually doing things and getting the group going? Rome wasn't built in a day, and no sorority was either. Having more man power, more leadership, more people to divy up the work with makes it more effective.

theres four initiated members that already do small service work as a group. theres two other women who are in the process of becoming members... this isnt official recruitment b/c, as youve said, we are new. we wanted to wait an entire year at least, before we recruited other people. (or went campus wide with an interest group) I'll give you an example of our NME as the two women are doing now
As with any group, they learn why we were founded, and general things that are actually made public on our website (our open motto, purpose, founding date) and then we ask that each member learn specific things that are significant to the success of this organization ( something that we'd like to keep within our group). And of course during the time they learn about OPD, they must learn about current members and each other.
the process is extremely detailed in that all four current members worked together to develop the process as we participated in it ourselves. and for right now it seems that the new members are really enjoying the process, so we all have high hopes for the fall.
And you are right, having more people is better, that is why we are trying to 'educate' these two women right now. All of us are close friends, but we didnt all create the basis of this group- two of us did. and then two more joined, and now two more are joining-- this was a choice made, to hopefully provide more access to future members of next semester, and like i stated before- while these two members are in there process, we have current members, getting the group some much needed publicity in the manner of being more active among campus... and even tho there are only four of us i believe we are making great process as a group.
