Have to add though, this doesn't work if you're at a smaller school w/ smaller pledge classes (20 people is not a fun mixer).

You said that you were having problems with member retention, so I'm assuming that getting people to join isn't the main problem. Why do your members say they are not staying in the chapter? Are your dues on par with other groups on campus? Do your members feel they are getting value for the money they pay in dues? Are your members bonding? To fix a problem, you need to know what the problem really is, otherwise you're just sweeping the dust under the rug and hoping no one notices! If you are an AOII, PM me.
