I can't imagine any national letting any group remain a colony indefinately. They'll probably revoke the colony charter eventually if they don't get the kind of numbers national wants.
As far as people from other chapters coming out and helping with rush is concerned... I think it's a great idea. Any group, but especially a small one, could definately benefit from a little more manpower (womanpower for those pc people I suppose). It also shows that you would be joining a national group, not just one confined to a single campus. The fact that SAEs from all over hang out with each other regardless of what chapter(s) they're from is a major reason why I chose this fraternity when I rushed. It could have a similar effect on some of your rushees too.
