One thing thats terrible about low numbers and rush is that numbers really contirbute to your image on campus as well, and guys can be turned off by few people. The president of our local alumni chapter (im active right now) was active during the 80s and was experiencing this problem as well. They were down to 6 or 8 guys in the chapter and discussions were abound about the chapter going inactive. However what was done was through contact with the chapter at the University of Puget Sound, a few hours away, they actually came up, in numbers, and helped them during fall rush. SO instead of 8 guys you had 38 guys in the house for rush. That fall they got somewhere around 25 pledges, and saved the chapter.
What im trying to say i guess is dont dispair, like someone above mentioned me here mentioned, make sure your chapter brohood is really strong, then try talking to surrounding chapter who may be quite strong and talk to them about rush teachniques, and possible assistance
