Alternatively, I would work with your HQ on getting your chapter to be better recruiters and ask deeper questions that can have a positive impact on the future of your chapter. Instead of your recruiters saying "I like her, we had a cool conversation", get them to say "I like her, we had a cool conversation about church fundraising. She could be a real asset to XYZs philanthropy." Maybe it is a change in the way you conduct your selection sessions. Perhaps you only allow specifics to be discussed instead of vague generalities or someone's "coolness". Either way, I commend you for speaking with HQ and anticipate that they will be able to give you more concrete answers to your question.

This is what I was trying to say but better than I could say it.
The fact of the matter is, this isn't an SEC rush and you don't have tons upon tons - more than you could ever handle - of amazing rushees coming through the door. I'm not saying there are not great women there, but they aren't automatically drawn to rush the way they are in the South.
If you know someone who IS amazing but just hasn't rushed, that's when all the getting to know you outside of rush tactics come in.
