But still, whatever the history, there's still only one realistic strategy to fix the problem. And again, telling them to give up & play in traffic isn't acceptable to me. Even if they're in trouble, I'm going to give them an optimistic answer.
I'd only add a couple things knowing the history. Un-co-ed the thing, for a myriad of reasons. It's not helping you. And, quit talking about your alumni. It's possible for them to step in, but you are unlikely to have strong support from them. Your chapter is only 20-something years old. When it's 35-40 years old - when you have a decade of alumni (250+) that are 50-60/kids out of college/independently wealthy/etc then your alumni will start having greater capacity to help you, both financially and in time/attention. Don't look to them to save you. What you can get from them at this point is bonus.

I agree with the piece about making the organization single-sex again, but I don't think "you shouldn't be relying on your alumni" is good advice, especially for an organization as young as this one.
