You can do the same thing with athletes, Honors students, any of the clubs... but with the athletes or band members, you might want to find out if waivers can be arranged for missing certain big events like rush and initiations. If they have to choose between the volleyball team and rush, they will choose volleyball because likely they are on a scholarship. But if you can make a special arrangement for them (not a blank check, but they will be responsible for X number of COB events if they have to miss a day or two of rush), then it might be really appealing to them. And using this formula, you could more easily go after girls you don't personally know. Contacting them as a group and inviting them to a rush event wouldn't seem as odd as just approaching random girl on the street. An invitation saying ABC sorority would like to invite the women of the band to a sorority recruitment event on X date would pretty much spell out what you're doing and why. That shouldn't be the end of your approach, follow up phone calls, personal contact with anyone you actually know, etc. would also be required, but this would be one form of a blast invitation but targeted to a specific group of women. And one month you could do the band, the next the volleyball team, the next the honors dorm, and that makes national happy because you are doing parties more frequently, but you aren't having to tear your hair out about who to drag through the door.
