Events may get a rushee's attention, but it is the brotherhood and friendship that seals the deal. As such, members should also be rushing their friends. And friends of their friends.

True to all of the above! Be yourselves and down to earth with any possible new members.
One thing that has always stuck in my mind was at Homecoming. The new kids (Fraternity) on the block was Phi Sigma Kappa. No house and just a small group of members. They were at the game in letters and all hung together. They were the only letters I saw. That was @ 8-10 years ago and are still there with a little bigger membership, and while a rental house, they have a home.
Don't hide your light under a basket. Show togetherness and what your organization means.
