I was part of a very large christian minustry on campus and would often try to get community service groups projects going. This is different, but similar because there was not a venue to really advertise and maybe my experience can be applied to this situation.

What I did was started talking to people that I knew as friends. i would talk about what I wanted to do and invite people. Something like hey I am doing a service project this weekend, yeah it it going to be fun, Would you be interested in joining me? This did not always work, but I would not get discurrages and would casually bring it up. After a while I got a number of people involved on a regular basis that one of them had a connection with the person who did announcements and we finally got the projects in the announcements. Strenght comes in number, but you have to have interest first. it takes some time to build that up and it can be really frustrating if you are not finding it.

To the OP, Pm me if you want me to go into further details as I also started a chapter of Alpha Phi Omega at my school and tried to start one at my friends school.

Good luck and I am curious to know how things are turning out.
