I must say, that rush numbers definately go in cycles. Being a rush chair, I almost think that promoting the Greek System instead of each individual chapter is what worked best at my campus. Numbers were stronger than ever when fraternities had combined frat quad/row parties before their formal rush started. Even though sororities can not have these kinds of parties due to rush infractions, I think that the frat parties help the sorority numbers as well. I also think that mandating letter days at the start of school through rush help Greek awarenes. The more all letters are worn, the more you advertise. A strong chapter can only arise from a strong Greek System. If anyone has any questions, please let me know..
