Martin,
Many of the time constraints may come from study time as in many situations.
Study hall sessions may help by getting the group together in one place and
strengthening the bond in the group. Also being a Tech school, many of your
members may have the same courses and can help out the newer students in the
group. Being together more should help to create new friendships and draw
more members to meetings and events.
Just one guys idea.

Now, coming up with ideas to help Gamma Zeta is not easy. You have to
take into consideration that this is a technical school with huge demands
from classes and so time is one of our worst problems. And of course,
what's one of the biggest aspects of APO? Spending time to serve others.
We have tried all sorts of things to improve membership and it seems that
everything fails. We've done a CPPC (it was long and got monotonous
and it didn't seem to work), we've tried bringing committees
back (we usually don't get much, if any, attendance), we've tried
different things for rush (like having a piniata or going ice-skating),
we've tried bringing food to meetings (gets a little expensive after
awhile), and we've tried all sorts of publicity. Several members of the
chapter have discussed this with advisors, section chair, region chair,
people at CPW, Regionals, and Nationals and we still aren't getting
anywhere. Although, because of all the things we've tried, I can probably
help out other chapters :) But if anyone else on here goes to a technical
school like GT and have ideas on what we might do to improve membership or
if anyone else has some good ideas that perhaps noone in my chapter has
thought of, please lmk, and if it's something others might benefit from,
please post on APO-L. Thanks,
-Martin
