I think it honestly depends on the kind of atmosphere a team has from the start. Our team is fortuante to have a lot of female leadership in all sub-teams (technical to PR to IT) and because girls at our school see it as a non-discriminatory activity, they have no problem participating.

I think phrontist made a really good point though, when he said recruitment should be gender blind. I'll be honest and say that I think trying to do PR to get people on the team just to fix a gender ratio isn't a wise action. Sometimes, the ability to do what our gender is in a minority of is what attracts girls. I know the opportunity inspired me.

Keep your boys, keep your girls, everybody is a member of the team. As long as they behave at competitions, I think gender ratio is insignificant.
