Your board of directors is composed of alumnae, isn't it? Why would they force you to sell a house that means as much to them as it does to you? Like I said, if you own it you can rent it for a year or so until numbers go back up. This is done very frequently at some schools.
As for the offices - you are local. YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. If you choose to only have President and Treasurer, you can. 4 women in the sorority would be considered an "emergency" and supercedes any bylaws you might have. Plus remember, this is only fall! You have all of next semester to pledge women - and there are people who want to wait until they complete a semester to get involved in anything. Also there may be people transferring into the school. So who knows who will come along in the spring.
I know right now everything looks bleak, but please don't give up!!! Like Meri said, her group went from 3 to 20 - it CAN be done and without compromising your standards.
GOOD LUCK!!!
