Do an assessment of the chapter with your fellow chapter members. Look at areas of strength and weakness and set goals for how you want to grow.
If a lot of seniors will be graduating, you may want this new member class to be heavily made up of underclassmen, whereas next year you may not be as concerned with how many years a member will be able to contribute.
Wear letters all the time so people start to recognize your name!
Outside of formal recruitment, you need to work extra hard. Hold open house events and workshops for women on your campus as a way to get to know them-- IE: Self defense, resume writing, cooking 101, etc. Partner with other campus groups where you may find quality members and hold events together. Offer bids to women after informal meetings (discuss this policy as a chapter).
You can still be selective in whom you invite to membership-- you just need to be more aggressive about meeting new people and getting to know them.
Invite your campus's Greek Adviser to assist you with your goals and have him/her assist you in getting your numbers up.
