And not to turn this into a life lesson, but turning this into a marketing project might help change the way you're thinking about it.
An additional problem you may be having is you don't have a long-range plan. Where do you want to be after this rush? In a year? In 5 years? The way you are handling your current rush and your long-term member retention may change if you get together as a group and set some goals. I attended a goal-setting seminar once and they talked about the crazy goal (there was some cutesy term for it). In your case, let's say you have 10 members on a campus with 1000 students. You want an active membership of 100 within 5 years. Probable? Probably not. But possible? Absolutely. But to do that, you have to have a very clear plan in mind. "Let's get more girls to rush this year" isn't a plan, by the way.
