Do you have a Recruitment Committee?
A small group of hard-working, dedicated girls will have more success than 25 girls, most of which aren't making an effort.
Tell your chapter that you're starting a committee, and that you want people to join who truly want to see the chapter grow, and who will do almost anything to see that happen. Then brainstorm!
And read these three blog entries from Phiredup.com:
"Big Events: When They Work and When They Don't"
http://www.phiredup.com/index.php?op...p=476&Itemid=2
"The Fun Theory"
http://www.phiredup.com/index.php?op...p=447&Itemid=2
And this last one... I actually put on a recruitment workshop for my chapter not too long ago, and one of the things I did was read this blog entry ("Be Nice to People (at least for a week)":
http://www.phiredup.com/index.php?op...p=418&Itemid=2) and then asked the sisters to come up with some of their own "nice" ideas, or to expand on the ones that were mentioned.
Instead of trying to make skits and decorations more exciting, why not trying to make RECRUITMENT more exciting?
Do something different, bold or daring. Do something that people will remember. Do something that you actually ENJOY doing.
And when the rest of the sisters see your committee having so much fun and making a difference, maybe they'll want to join in, too!
