Daniel, you may feel as if you are alone but don't. You have brothers who will help you and your chapter.
There's a great story within the Fraternity about a chapter that had a problem very similar to yours. I'm sorry to say I don't recall whether it was the University of Kentucky or the University of Missouri, but it happened 80-90 years ago.
Chapters weren't huge like they are today and for one reason of another, no members of the chapter except one returned to school that fall. That one young sophomore Brother had no idea what to do, so he called the national office and spoke to Robert Adger Smythe.
Smythe liked what he heard from the young man. He said, "Go to the trunk where the chapter keeps it's initiation regalia and other valuables and you'll find a locked box. Open that box, and inside you'll find a supply of pledge pins. I want you to take those pins and go find as many other young men exactly like yourself as you can, and ask them to join you in Pi Kappa Alpha."
That's how the chapter was reborn and how they found success again.
It's not any more complicated than that. Go out and find as many men just like you as you can, and pledge them. Don't try to make it hard; just do it. It will be one of the great inspirational experiences of your life.
