That's the million dollar question for a Bungie group these days. basically you don't. 'You' don't get your members, your Group does.
Start with what you have already stated, continue it. You will gain members, however slowly. Then it's all about working on your chapter(group), keeping it fresh, and active. Word of mouth will spread the news, it will grow. Don't worry that you're not growing to 1000 members in one month, most of those "Super Groups" die and must be remade months later, and the same thing again occurs. Just try to make an interesting, original, and active community and over time it will grow.
A good staff is key to helping a group grow/ They need to be willing to work for the group while also participating in it's discussions. Members who join and see an Active forum, posts everyday, and many of the staff regularly active will be more inclined to stick around.
Otherwise; Groups are on a downer these days, the majority of B.net members don't even know or care of their existence. Just tough it out.
