"...but it's just not feasible to double our chapter in size where the majority of women would be new members."
Yes, it is feasible, in fact it's just about the only way you're going to get good. Slow growth is excellence is a myth. The only wa sa new chapter or a weak chapter gets great is quickly. Slow growth might get you from bad to decent or even good, but never to excellent.
Pledge as many women as you can as fast as you can. Whatever you lose in "control" or in imagined "sisterhood" will more than be made up for in enthusiasm and elevated morale. Plus other sororities will begin to talk about you and that's a plus. No one wants to be unknown or ignored, or pitied. If you have the ability to double your size in one rush, DO IT! And then do it again in the spring. When anyone asks you how you did it or why, just say, "It's our goal to be the best, and we're determined to take the top honors ion rush and everything else."
