How to save a house with declining numbers

[GreekHoodies]

We had houses like that. Even my own house was declining when I was first pledging? And while I sometimes get all Darwinian and think it's ok for the less organized houses to fold up, I think usually with a little bit of work houses can be saved. How organized and motivated and accountable are the house members? If 12 people get committed to each bringing 5 people to rush and if 25% pledge then you can double your house in one pledge class. Next time around you can double it again again and have a 40 guy house. It's funny, some of the best performing houses at my school were the upstarts. They were hungry and they all worked hard. And they came from nothing. No cool legacy. No house. No relationships with sororities. If they can do it, your 12 guys can do it to. It sounds like maybe they don't care or are not holding each and every member accountable.
