For starters, I think that the new minimally structured format will help you out a lot, so that's a plus.

But from what I know of UNCA, it's a very non-traditional campus, with lots of students who aren't necessarily the "sorority type". I would suggest doing some sort of PR where Greeks are involved with other campus activities (like helping present a campus program or maybe helping with an awareness day of some sort). You've got to show those girls who are anti-Greek "just because" that maybe sorority life could be for THEM. Do something that is helpful and shows that the Greeks care about what happens at UNCA. Participate in anything that showcases your diversity and sisterhood; break the mold and show the students at your school that sorority girls are just like them.

Maybe consider doing a flyer as a Panhellenic or as a Greek system that lists the benefits of being Greek? I just have a strong feeling that there's lots of girls at your school who either don't know what sorority life is about, or have a preconceived notion that's incorrect.

Finally, flyers and chalking don't recruit people. People recruit people. Each girl in your chapter should be responsible for adding potential members to a potential member file (an index card holder is ideal for this). Invite these girls to events that you're already having. Find those girls who you think would make perfect sisters and pursue them! Sometimes all it takes is individually showing a woman what she can gain from going Greek.
