If your numbers are small enough to be noticable during recruitment, it's not unheard of to ask for other chapters to come and help you during rush. When my pledge class went through recruitment, a house that I didn't end up pledging brought in girls that were from a nearby chapter and it helped not only their numbers as far as in-house girls picking up PNMs at the door, but their overall appeal as a chapter. Ask some sisters for help. Also, when recruiting formally or open recruiting, be sure your members keep in mind that they have to target the right kind of girl, especially ones that are involved in extracurriculars (so they can be seen as a rep. of your house on campus) and ones that want to be involved within the house (since you seem to be lacking motivation and leadership). It sounds silly, but quality matters over quanitity. Unmotivated members hurt chapters more than those below quota with motivated members. Also, very visible on-campus philanthropy events are a good way to build positive PR. Hope it helps!
