Despite this i know that recruitment for some organizations is not a problem, the sig pis, while all assholes here, get 15+ men pledge classes, while we get 2. Obvisously we are not rushing correctly. Our image on campus isn't huge outside of the greek system. The sororities love us and love to party with us.

so i have 2 questions: What have been the best things to attract perspective pledges. What drew you to your respective fraternity/sorority and why them over another?

Are you at WSU? I had some really good times at that house. If so I can tell you whats wrong with your rush program: You don't have one. Theta Tau has always aligned themselves with the social greeks in every sense other than how they rush. I know a lot of the guys back in the day didn't want a huge fraternity, and didn't want to have an extensive recruitment program, but if you guys are now at only 8 members thats kind of dangerous. And even though you guys may be a much better group than sig pi, they have a much better rush program.
