No one wants to be part of an organization with no purpose, program, or benefits. The chapter must start with a solid reputation from day one and continue building it. 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.
