Everyone's advice has been great so far.

I'll add:

- Make allies of the other sororities. Then they won't be as willing to badmouth you.
- Make friends with the fraternities. You want them to think you're cool/fun girls.
- Work hard at retention. A lot of chapters drop in numbers because they aren't good at retaining the members they get. Make sure everyone feels comfortable and appreciated, give everyone a role/office if possible so they stay involved.
- Go after some campus greek awards, if you have them.
- At your next formal rush, if you're allowed, you might want to ask about allowing alumnae or actives from other chapters in the room/house just to fill it out. Even though they probably won't be allowed to talk to PNMs, the place will look more busy and active, and most PNMs won't notice your numbers as much at first glance. It is also my opinion that it is better to use alumnae to help rush women than try to double-rush PNMs yourself (but maybe this isn't an issue for your chapter).
