I guess I just don't see what the problem is here. If you ask a freshman to an event, just say "freshmen can't join until second semester, but you can still come to events now and see if it's something you're interested in." That's not bid promising in the least.
And seriously - this is what we were talking about in the other thread with a structured Panhellenic recruitment being of help. If the rush process is the same all year round, I can understand why some girls would be confused. Usually when 1st semester freshmen aren't allowed to join, they get a more structured "introduction" in the form of formal rush once they are allowed.
You need lots more PR on a Panhellenic level, rather than each chapter doing their own.
