Have there been any recent internal struggles that made women drop out? Have a candle pass or retreat and get all that stuff talked out. If there are girls who insist on letting grudges and such fester, terminate their butts.
Was your class distribution unequal? Each woman should be participating in a campus activity outside the sorority - hopefully something where they can meet underclassmen. WEAR LETTERS!!! Encourage the girls to eat in the cafeteria or campus eateries instead of just going back to the house - prospective members can't see them or meet them if they're just going to class and going back to the house.
If you feel like you're the VP of recruitment - you need to step off a bit. You can't do things FOR them. I realize it's your chapter of initiation and you want it to be successful, but if you're picking out rushees and saying "these are the women you want" you are going beyond what an advisor - even a recruitment advisor - is supposed to do.
