Korin,
Here at Mu Tau we have the same problem, small campus, few actives, many
inactives. Many of our members join for one semester then go inactive. Some
of these people are known to have done this with other organizations. These
folks are in it for the resume. After talking with the rest of the group it
turned out that it was the lack of fellowship and new and meaningful service
projects that drove them away. We had several little groups within the
chapter, this really took away from the whole principle of being brothers.
Also, our chapter has fallen into a rut of the standard projects we do every
semester and it gets old. So our suggestions are one really promote
brotherhood and in a way that the rest of the school will see it. Eat
together, participate in intermural activities, anything that will get the
GROUP noticed. This will help draw back the inactives and bring in new
brothers. Second try to keep variety in the projects and publicize every one.
If anyone has any suggestions on ways of promoting brotherhood or creative
projects please send them our way too. Thanks
