As far as requiring people to be in more activities, I think that is already a requirement in our chapter! I don't know of anyone that is NOT in another activity.

I want to caution you that you may have to handle this gently if the newest class hasn't been through recruitment on the chapter side yet. If you say, "we had to invite back everyone" and they didn't know that, they may feel bad. That's not to say the topic is verboten, just that it possibly has to be handled with care and you should think in advance about who has what information and who might be surprised by this.

Very very good point. Should I just mention how I want to help narrow down what types of girls we are and aren't looking for?
