Im the founder of a small local sorority. Our school is just now talking about recognizing greek life (even though its been around on campus for roughly 25 years) We are still rather small (3 years old) - we have 13 active sisters. It is a commuter school, so 99% of events are off campus.

We were having similar issues with girls not wanting to go to parties/mixers. We would have the same 5 girls show up to everything, while everyone else made excuses not to go. (dont like to drink, boyfriends, etc etc) We began having a lot of really bad parties because other GLO's would not show up. Since our parties are our only source of income other than our dues it was a serious problem. We decided to have our social chair make one mandatory party per month. So say if XIO, ZBT & APD are all having a party this month, one of them will be mandatory, and the others will be strongly suggested.

While some people may not agree that this is the best route to go, it has worked for us. Its definitely something to consider if you cant find out why these girls won't show up to other organizations parties.
