DWAlphaGam,
This is an interesting question since many schools have at least deferred Rush to Spring semesters and some are prohibiting freshmen from recruitment all together like your school has done. From what I understand schools that do this see drastic drops in recruitment numbers, so you are not alone in this situation.
My suggestion to battle the "I want XYZ and nothing else" problem is to concentrate on Panhellenic events aimed at freshmen who will be pnms the next year. How about a Women's Health Week, where all the chapters plan each day together?
How about a Panhellenic study night where all chapters wear their letters in the library? Concentrate on showing the unity of the Greek system. During Rush I would stress in conversations how you have friends in each of the chapters and how you enjoy working togther at Homecoming and other events.
Good luck with this issue and please let us know what your Panhellenic decides to do.
