MOTIVATION CASE STUDY

Our chapter is the smallest on campus. It’s obvious during recruitment season and when we attend all-Greek events. It’s hard to get the chapter motivated during recruitment, because they don’t expect to do as well as everyone else (we never do) and it’s hard to get them to attend all-Greek events because we don’t make a great impression there, and we rarely place, much less win, in events because we just don’t have as many people.

MOTIVATION CASE STUDY

Whenever anything needs to be done, we always rely on the same 3-5 people to do it. They’re great, but I don’t want them to get burned out, and it would be better if more people were involved. However, everyone knows that we can count on that core group of people, so they don’t bother volunteering.

MOTIVATION CASE STUDY

I am involved in multiple campus organizations. I enjoy it, but there is so much to do вЂ" I sometimes feel overwhelmed. Some days go great, but some days I wonder why I bother and it is getting easier and easier to ignore deadlines rather than stress about them. When I first got involved, I had more time and everything was more exciting and enjoyable, but now I’m thinking of resigning my leadership positions and I might quit my chapter, too.

MOTIVATION CASE STUDY

Between programming requirements from the University, programming requirements from the National organizations, chapter events, and social events, our members could spend every night of the week on Greek events. Lots of people complain about being too busy, and I’m afraid that the Greek GPA is going to suffer (we’re close to the all-student average, but just below it), but the school doesn’t seem to want to lessen their requirements, chapters have their own operational things they have to do, and everyone wants to keep a fun social calendar. How can we get this under control before it negatively impacts members’ academics and before members get so frustrated that they stop coming to events or quit?

MOTIVATION CASE STUDY

The seniors in our chapter, many of them past Executive Board members, sit in the back of the room during chapter meetings, talk, and complain. They aren’t happy with anything that the current leadership is doing, and it is negatively impacting chapter
