My chapter gets so much hate on greekrank and I think it's hurting our recruitment!!!

As for letter pimps, you take em to standards and get them out. Plain and simple.

She said in another post that their advisors were forcing them to invite back anyone with a high enough GPA. Disempowering the chapter in this way doesn't help their confidence. They'd be better off to invite back a smaller amount of women that they've gotten to know through activities, dorm neighbors etc (I don't get the impression this is a rec-necessary school) and make them feel special, rather than having to pander to women who are going to rip them apart the minute they walk out the door.

And yes, every chapter needs worker bees who aren't super gung ho. I'm not talking about them. Those worker bees are often the best bigs, the most skilled sign makers - things that may not be easy to verbalize in rush but are important in day to day life. I'm talking about the women who never show up to anything and never give any support - in effect, the women that you feel like you are still rushing even though they've been members for a couple semesters. Those kind of women are toxic in rush. They're only there because they'll get fined if they don't show. They're resented by the rest of the membership, for good reason, and the PNMs can see it. Hopefully that isn't half your chapter, but if it is, my recommendation still stands - get them out.
