Ideas needed

[Dave J 1233]

Thanks, everybody. Well, my chapter's biggest problems have always been lack of committment when it comes to rush and the fact that we don't have a proper house. The latter isn't really fixable at the moment since the housing market in Athens is godaweful, but we've already started fixing the committment problem. We're beginning to realize that after next year, half of our chapter is gone. We had trouble enough getting people to fill officer positions this election (I got hoodwinked into being Theta instead of Phi), I can't imagine how it will be next time when half the chapter is inelgible because they're graduating.

We do tell everyone to submit names for rush, but most people don't do it anyway (I freely admit I didn't because I suck at talking to people). Even with this attempt and an awesome week of Rush events, we only managed to get two people, one of which had already rushed once before but had to leave. I thought our Alumni Advisor was going to kill us. At Founders, he's going to tell our alumni not to give us any money for summer rush efforts, which I think does more harm than good and isn't logical in the least.
