The basics between champagne and gin are the same: alcohol with the ability to induce drunken behavior. But then again champagne isn't gin.

They both get the job done!

Simply because you were not in a fraternity, but a sorority. Being in a sorority involves more rules, organization, and a communist style system that deals with other sororities. Fraternities are not like that. COB is also different. It was all pretty evident in your advice. The advice from sororities probably wouldn't jive for NPHC recruitment either. It's all different - that's all.

Fraternity rush also has to deal with other fraternities, they're the competition.
How is your advice really different than my own:

I want you to convince me why ZBT should be on your campus. There are 32 fraternities and ZBT is not Jewish (nationally or locally on your campus) so you can't go that route. Why should someone join your fraternity given it's relative youth, lack of alumni, big pretty house, large membership, etc. When you can figure out an answer to that, then you can figure out how to rush for guys.

Definitely have some brainstormig sessions:
Why did the existing brothers chose ZBT? Why do men chose to go elsewhere? What do you have to offer that other groups can't? What are other groups offering that you're not? If your chapter focuses on ZBT's Jewish history, is that helping you or hurting in attracting new members? Do you effectively use Hillel connections?
What kind of members do you want? I mentioned in another thread that a chapter should write an image statement defining what the chapter is and what the chapter wants to be. If you want a chapter that can dominate in sports, your image statement should reflect that. If you want a chapter that is filled with campus leaders, say so. Then use the statement to remind yourself of your target audience and go after those men!
