* Univ. abbreviations: USC = Univ. of Southern California, LMU= Loyola Marymount Univ., CSLB = Cal State Long Beach, UCSB = Univ. of California Santa Barbara.
Roughly 2005-ish, a chapter at my university (Tulsa Univ.) was struggling and a dozen or so members from their strong Oklahoma State chapter helped out during 2 conversational rounds (Open House & Entertainment). The chapter got quota+ that year and hasn't struggled since.

That can be good if the women from the other chapters are strictly helpers - ushering girls in, setting out refreshments etc - so the actual chapter members have more time to talk to the PNMs. But there have been SO many rushees on here who said "ABC had women from other chapters there and I felt tricked when I found out the girl I'd talked to all night was from Other State U."
It might be that they are planning an expansion rush and the consultant is there to observe their strengths and weaknesses (and how rushees react to them) before wasting time presenting a lot of concepts and ideas that don't apply. That would make more sense than trying to pick up girls who had a bad rush.
