If chapter total is 90 and you are off by 20, that is not a huge amount. I mean, I'm sure it still sucks, but one good formal and 2 or 3 good informals, and you could be in fighting shape in no time. A problem, where you really have to mix things up, is chapter total is 90 and you're at 40. When a quota pledge class doubles your membership, that sort of thing. I would really focus on getting a handful of awesome, motivated girls and quit worrying about rush parties and all the pressure. If you're off by 20, try to get 5 girls in a late pledge class this semester, and 5 girls in a pledge class in the spring. Then you're only off by 10, presuming you can hold onto your members. Then, if you tell your rush team to really target 5 or 10 AWESOME girls and not inviting any girl who isn't, then your new members will feel special and it will (hopefully) cascade.
