You obviously have some interest from the Freshmen on your campus (as evident from their attendance at your events) so I think that you need to sharpen your COB skills and make it a point of keeping in contact with your potential new members. There is nothing wrong with inviting them back to events often, getting to know them, and then offering a bid when your campus allows. I'm not sure where you got the idea that inviting them to attend events is dirty rushing.
Also, don't get stuck with the poor us (we aren't large, southern, or have girls wanting to be Greek) attitude. This will not help in your recruitment efforts. I think that you need to continue with informal recruitment, as is normal on your campus, and make the best of it. Have a quick introduction at the beginning of each event to review the school rules (no 1st semester Freshmen, etc.) and then have fun getting to know people. Your potential recruits wouldn't be at these events if they were not interested in joining.
