The higher the activity level of your group, the more interest your chapter can generate. Membership drives are a great way to show what your chapter is all about. This chance to share ideas with others can be your best tool for recruiting people for today and tomorrow. Public relations is very important. You should participate in academic fairs or exhibitions at your school if possible.
Articles are especially effective when they coincide with planned events.
Check with the student administration to see what steps are necessary to gain recognition. Usually they will request a copy of your constitution and a meeting with the president of the group. This meeting is crucial to your credibility and eligibility for funding. The student administration is going to want to know what your goals are, your purposes, your financial needs, and everything else relevant to your situation. If you have intelligent responses and both academically and socially acceptable intentions, they should respond positively.
