I know that there will be girls that love our small number, but the difference in size is still quite intimidating. There is one sorority (Alpha Chi) that has been on campus for a shorter period of time than we have - I want to say they came in 98 but I could be wrong. (We were founded in 96.)
I feel sure that we would be included on all the recruitment materials - already we are listed with the NPC groups on the Greek Life website, and every year in the recruitment handbook there is a page that tells about us. I think this year if girls didn't get a bid they were given a flier with our information on it.

ETA: We are the only local.
Are you allowed to choose how many bids you want to give out? I think that taking more pledges than you can handle is hugely important to think about. If you can't handle them (and i know you know this) you may lose them. I think you are smart to think about this now, before you get into it all

We never did formal rush so I'm not sure if NPC rules would allow this...

Good Luck! I think it is a great opportunity and if managed right it will work out in your favor
