misscherrypie-- Does the online chapter hold rush events? How does the chapter go about attracting new members?

Good questions!
Online chapters don't seem to Rush the way that land ones do. I was asked to rush my online chapter by a close friend who was also a Beta, and then got to meet her chapter sisters by emailing back and forth with them over time.
Then, in many cases (mine counted) a prospective member will attend the meetings of the online chapter for a specified period of time and in some fashion, the prospective member is either offered or not offered membership in that chapter. Each chapter is different and not all chapters accept brand new members to the sorority. Some do. There is a lot of variation.
In my experience, new members have been introduced to the online chapter by someone that they already know in the chapter who invites them to rush. Not to say that some online chapters would never attempt to attract rushees in to rush without a prior connection to someone in the chapter, but I've personally never seen this happen.
