When you were recruiting new members, did you blatantly or subtly put other fraternities down - slogans like "this is not your father's fraternity" or "we're about more than partying" do not engender love from the existing groups. If you really DO have something VERY different to offer, then just state what it is (i.e. you are nonsecret, you are for music majors etc). Too many groups confuse "pride" and "arrogance."

Are any of the guys in your fraternity people who depledged other fraternities on campus?

Are you horning in on long-established fraternity/sorority relationships? At some schools this doesn't exist, but at some schools it's taken VERY seriously and not something you come in and mess with - i.e. if XXX fraternity and YYY sorority always do homecoming together, horning in on that is not a good idea.

Have other fraternities on your campus closed recently?

Are you giving bids to just anyone to get your numbers up?

Just wanted to throw some ideas out there.
