Oh-it can be done...I PMd you to give you some ideas....let me know what you think....
Also, if you put flyers everywhere...it gives off the impression that you are looking for just ANYONE who will help out your numbers. Not to be mean-but, NPCs are generally exclusive. You don't have to be a size 0-I got that..but, you at least have to make the grade and be willing to also make the commitment. If they weren't that exclusive....we wouldn't have rush and everyone would join a chapter the FIRST time they went through....
You have a lot of strong points....You want girls who have the same strong points. Some people are for-and others against the idea of handing out cards to the PNMs coming through recruitment saying things like.."I think you're awesome..I hope you choose to join XYZ because I would love to call you a sister" and making them hand them back before they leave the Pref ceremony but, for me...it made me put a chapter as number 1 on my list that I didn't think much of before because the sister made me feel like she really liked me-and she really wanted me around....Of course, I didn't realize they did that to EVERYONE but, the girl who showed me around the sorority dorm floor (which is another great recruitment tool to use if the rooms are filled with your members) knew my name...knew about me..and gave me that card....
I know now that it was a recruitment tool she used and not because I was anything special..but,she did a great job in making me see myself there and wanting to be apart of HER sisterhood-I mean, I had already made a friend...right? She did a great job at selling the chapter and they were by no means a top tier chapter but, I felt great! Do the same type of stuff...make it personal. As soon as you hand out fliers saying you need new girls-it's like putting up a poster for people to try out for the school play. It's not the best tool...so, do what the above women noted and you'll be fine...as it was stated earlier..going from 12-35 should be no problem at all....Good Luck!!!
