A good recruiter:
1) Knows Recruitment is EVERYDAY. She is a public relations ambassador for her sorority, her university, her community and her family. She represents her sorority well by looking, acting and dressing her personal best both DURING recruitment and BEFORE/AFTER recruitment-- in class, driving down the street, at a fraternity party, in her attitudes toward her sisters and classmates and the way she carries herself
2) Makes good grades and manages her time effectively
3) helps others-- sisters, friends, family and volunteers in her community. She is polite and gracious.
4) Pays her dues on time
5) Leads by example
6) Doesn't speak ill of her chapter or chapter sisters and would never talk about a friend behind her back
7) Is honest. If something troubles her, she tactfully and clearly brings it up to the appropriate party.
8) Gives a firm handshake and sincere smile
9) is genuinely interested in hearing what you have to say. She listens and is able to paraphrase your words--- and then carry the conversation by asking you another question or taking what you have said to highlight a point about her sorority and her sorority experience
10) knows her sorority's history, values and hierarchy
11) makes you feel at ease and happy to talk to her. She finds the common bond you share-- whether it is a hobby, favorite tv show, dreaded course or interest in being Greek. She will find it!
12) she leaves you with a strong positive impression-- you think to yourself-- What a wonderful person that was!

Great suggestions!
Along the lines of PR, I would like to add -
Being good PR means representing your sorority well outside recruitment as well. If you are wearing letters and sleeping through class, people will get a bad impression of your sorority. Just use common sense.
More common sense, but look your rushee in the eye! If you do not make eye contact when speaking, she will be very uncomfortable.
If you have a shy rushee, you don't need to start off with a question - talk (briefly) about one of your sorority experiences, and ask what she is most looking for in a sorority. Then go from there.. ie, if she says she is looking for an opportunity for community service, tell her about some of your favorite projects, etc.
