just have a few of your pledge sisters or initiated sisters who you are close to get together with you and one of your independent friends-just hang out in the school food court/cafeteria or at starbucks or an ice cream parlor. don't even mention anything about recruitment-few people mention marriage on the first date. the first time it's just a group of friends you think might hit it off having some fun together. then if your indy friend likes the sorority sisters she meets, you might ask her to get together again with them to do something else-maybe by that time there will be an organized recruitment event and you could ask your friend to that.

in the mean time, try to find out how your chapter traditionally holds cob events. i would imagine that initiated sisters would be the ones who would speak to any pnms about bids, or you new members would at least be instructed as to how the chapter handles those things, but ordinarily, a chapter would want to meet a prospect more than once before a bid was offered.
