MAJOR CONCERNS OF CHAPTERS

1. Building and maintaining membership was the number one concern of the chapters reporting. Some of the reasons given were competition from other campus organizations and that most of the members were upper class students who graduated shortly after becoming members.

2. Lack of involvement and participation by members was the second most reported concern. Some reasons were difficulty in finding time to gather all members together at once, commuters having problems getting back for activities, and that some members were just not commit to ESG.

3. A few chapters reported a lack of funding for ESG projects and travel which limited the amount that they could participate in.
