New house - agree so much. Their national needs to do a massive remodeling, that house has no curb appeal. Sounds so superficial, but things like this play a role in recruitment. Also, four years is too soon to return. That's what they did the last time and that's not long enough for a "struggling" reputation to go away. Chapters that successfully recolonize usually wait 7, 8 or 10 years. Otherwise people remember the chapter and not in a positive way. There are some exceptions, of course. If I were their national, I'd wait it out 10 years and tear down that house, build something beautiful that fits the UA landscape/style. Then bring in your best actives you can pull from chapters in surrounding states, send in a national consultant to live in the house for a year or two, and work hard to recruit an amazing class - quality over quantity, get really selective at who you bid. That's how I've seen re-colonizing and new chapters do it and it gives them the best shot at a strong chapter.
