Strategies for Change or Time to Shut Down?

[33girl]

Cut the dead weight. If people don't show up to meetings or other functions, get rid of them. Start now. Better to have 15 guys (or 10 or 5) who put their heart into it than 40, only half of whom give a rat's rump and make you look bad around campus.

Start enforcing the campus orgs requirement - if people don't like it, terminate them.

Ask some of the other smaller fraternities on campus if they would be up for a double mixer with you and 2 smaller sororities. People get frustrated when they join a social fraternity and there are no social events.

These also are typically the folks who are responsible for you getting in arrears with your national because they don't pay dues/insurance on time.

Oh, and you mentioned your alumni were fragmented. Do you mean geography wise or was there some kind of drama that made people just want nothing to do with the fraternity? If it's the former, technology kind of renders that a moot point. If it's the latter, LET THE GUYS KNOW that the chapter is in danger of closing and you don't want that to happen. You have no idea how much support you will get until you try.
