My chapter is one of the few that participates in COB at my school (we have August rush), and when i was COB chairperson last year, my co-chair and I found it most effective to do "coke dates" -- one on one situations (ie, a sister takes a PNM out to Starbucks). However, we ALWAYS told the PNM that they should bring a friend along if they wanted (and 90% of the time they did, for comfort reasons) and BOOM! another PNM. We did have events, but only 2-3 a semester, and it was a one-time thing, and that was mostly to get girls interested in greek life/Phi Mu, and then we took them on a coke date if we saw fit and perhaps offered them a bid. The idea of a week of parties for informal recruiting does seem a little off-putting to me, so maybe change it up.
We also had a "bring a friend" event -- like a movie night or something, for our newest pledge class after recruitment -- the only requirment was that the friend had to be unaffliated and looking to join a house...that got us a lot of selection for coke dates.
