Maybe you should just go old school and have Celebrity Death Match for some of the warring members. You could charge the audience and give the $ to your philanthropy!

I kid, I kid.

It sounds like because of the pandemic, a lot of the group’s agency was taken away as to regards the new members who were chosen. Plus people didn’t hang out like normally and wounds were allowed to fester and fester more. Plus communication I’m sure was hard, as screen to screen isn’t for everyone. Auntie Rona dropped a big ball of crud in the middle of your house and now you’re left to clean it up.

Do you have rush coming up in the spring? If so, try getting everyone together and making a wish list of what you want in new members. Women don’t want to show up because the ho that took their man is the assistant rush chair? Have a box at the house where people can write down 3 attributes they want in a new member. Putting the focus on moving forward might help people to open up about the present issues that are going on because it’s not the designated topic.

I suggest that you talk to your advisors about your concerns. They are there to help your chapter, and have a vested interest in your chapter's success! Hopefully they are in regular contact with leadership in your national organization who can assist. It can be helpful for rank and file chapter members to share their experiences.

HA! Now we're getting somewhere.

I think you nailed it. The pandemic was not exactly kind to anyone, and definitely not college students, so I think it sorta rocked our world a little bit and amplified existing issues in relationships. I really love that 'wishlist' idea and I think it could be really good for us. We do not have formal recruitment upcoming until the fall (I don't even think we're COBing in the spring!) but I'm going to hang onto that idea and either suggest it to our next recruitment chair or run myself! () Thank you so much for your input!!!
