I would bump more frequently even if you have to double-rush. But based on your numbers, if you have 9 groups of 4 members, you can meet 27 girls with 36 members. Then you also have 5 floaters available, which I assume would be the President, Membership VP and 3 other top recruiters who can work the rooms. I was never the planner of this routine, so someone fill me in if I've missed something critical.
As far as conversation technique, the way Gee Ess described it is just the way we were trained.
But in my experience, the houses that bumped really fast were considered the best conversationalists even though they couldn't possibly have gotten into any sort of real chatter. However, they can set a plan, 1 talks about major 2 talks about jobs 3 talks about ... 4.... and nothing gets repeated. And since they've had about 3 minutes of conversation they don't have to worry about straying off topic.
Do you have another chapter in the vicinity to help you role-play? Or an alumnae chapter? We had workshops with another sorority on campus too. Bumping conversation is everything and can really dig you out of a boring or go-nowhere conversation.
