So here are some idea about holding rush.
First, make sure you know how you are going to do your rush. Is it just going to be a week of informal activites or will it be some informal activities and then an interview/application process. I've seen both processes being used. I would not ask new girls questions about the founding members but instead focus on getting girls interested in your sorority and finding out about who they are.
For the informal events:
-Make sure they are close to population of people that you are interested in. If your trying to get people who live in dorms, make sure the events are convient to them.
-Schedule them when people can come. Don't have evening events if people have night classes. Class is more important and they wont come to your events.
-Advertise like crazy. Put up posters and wear letters on campus. Tell people that you know about your orgnization.
-some fun events, eating (almost anything as long as free people will come out) chocolate or pie or making sundays, doing some sort of small service project, game night, bowling, things of that nature. Make sure the events that you plan have.
For the interview part:
-have standard questions (ask about them, not what they know about you. you have a new member period to tell them about your sorrority)
-let people know what they need to wear to the event
-keep it short (15 to 30 min)
Also if your looking for more ideas, search for COR (continious open recruitment) and informal recruitment.
