I can tell you how to do this.
First, you have to want to be a good fraternity. By that I mean successful, dynamic, fun, aggressive and exciting. The other side is small, unambitious, irresponsible and loutish.

A fraternity doesn't get good slowly. You have three members now; you could have thirty by the end of the year. And if you do, you will find yourself having the best time of your life.

I looked through your college website. All the Greeks appear to be locals. You describe yourself as a service fraternity, thought I assume friom your letter that you are social.

If you have only three members, I am going to assume that your competition is small too. Your college has intercollegiate athletic teams. Go offer them the opportunity to join your fraternity as a group; you may be surprised at their positive response. One of the things you can use as a sales point is the possibiltiy of becomnig part of a national fraternity. All you have to do it get about 30 members, contact a list of national fraternities and call yosefl an "interest group".

The way to get good/big fast on your campus is to pledge collections of men at one time. The varsity soccer team, a dorm floor, an intramural sports team...all of these are good targets. Dioes fast growth cause poblems? Sure, so does winning the Lottery. But they're problems you can solve while you're having fun.
Three men is not a fraternity, but you don't have to be a three-man group. Move quickly ansd aggressivley. Don't be afraid to fail. Keep you goal in mind of 30 by the end of the year.
