I can't stress the above enough. DO NOT chalk - DO NOT flyer - DO NOT put a notice on facebook/myspace/your website. This might bring in women who would be good additions, but you also run the risk of attracting women who only want to wear letters and they don't care what letters they are. And they KNOW that since you are having open COB parties that you're under total - making it very hard to get out of offering them a bid. IMO the risk of the latter far outweighs that of the former.
The Disney night is low key & a great idea - keep it along those lines, nothing too fancy. You want to do something where you can get to know the girls and know that they want YOUR sorority, not A sorority.
If you didn't already, get a list from the Greek Life office of women who dropped out of rush or didn't match. If you have interest in any of them, be sure to invite them.
Going from 12 to 35 can be done - not all at once maybe, but it's hella easier than 50 to 200.
GOOD LUCK!!
