hey!
So I've been in a very familiar situation. I am in a local sorority at Sac State and we also are not a part of the Formal Recruitment. One other sister and myself ran recruitment last fall and brought in our biggest pledge class for four years.
Boco has some really good points. Your sisters should be knowledgeable and able to answer any questions rushees have (unless of course it is something that is a secret until later!). They should be confident and must appear to be truly happy to be in your house.
One thing that I noticed about recruiting girls over my time in my sorority is that it has usually been better to aviod competetive activities, especially if your sisters can get really competetive with each other. Try to make sure you have some nights that are more relaxed where rushees can get to know sisters on a better level, but also plan some either outdoor or active activities. For example, during the recruitment I planned, we took the rushees to an indoor trampoline place that everyone LOVED.
Another thing is just make sure you're sisters are comfortable approaching girls (both at your recruitment events or around campus to get girls to come out) and are able to hook them. Go over some "pick up lines" that could catch some potential rushees attention.
Of course I don't know if this is the way your recruitment works, but I figured I'd share just in case. I'm sure your recruitment will turn out great! Good luck!
