CASE STUDY #2<br />
The Alpha Delta chapter of Phi Mu Delta has always been successful – they had a strong recruitment, they<br />
recruit leaders into the chapter, and they complete the required number of service hours. The chapter has 30<br />
men on the roster but less than half are regularly showing up to the weekly chapter meetings and attending the<br />
non-mandatory events. The members who are always showing up to everything are frustrated and the<br />
leadership has always struggled to get members to show up to events.<br />

CASE STUDY #3<br />
It’s bid day at Lion’s University. The IFC chapters are excited and prepared to welcome their new members.<br />
The Omega Tau chapter of Phi Mu Delta has a very special evening planned for their newest members. They<br />
meet the new members at an off-campus house and direct them to the table in basement where there are a<br />
few cases of beer. The active members direct the new members to drink the beer and get to know each<br />
other over the next half hour while they sit upstairs. After the new members drank most of the beers, the active<br />
members proceeded to line up the new members and ask them questions about the organization - any wrong<br />
questions resulted in push ups or wall sits.<br />
Then, the new members were told to divide into two different teams for a scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt<br />
has about 15 items on it, ranging from collecting items on campus to getting inappropriate pictures of women<br />
(in varying degrees of undress), and retrieving women’s undergarments.<br />
