Good point
Hi nittanyalum-
Good point! I agree it is easy to jazz up a group of guys when you're "starting something from scratch"...there is a level of pride that came along when we experienced success. Almost in a "holy crap...we did this!"
Even at our single chapter in Minneapolis, the trend is moving away from the "don't join a Fraternity...start one..." to "built by gentlemen...for gentlemen..."
(I just haven't made a new recruitment video yet!)
I feel strongly about having each chapter manage its own destiny...we've made a statement that a chapter will never be closed due to low membership. However I do own the company that operates our existing book of business and I've received a lot of input on how to take the operation out of the Twin Cities.
The simplest method I've heard is basically a "franchising" concept. Groups that subscribe to a corporate structure, code of conduct, etc. Like an owner of McDonalds...it's 'your' restaurant but you can't change the menu.
Thanks for responding
