Drop out of panhel
Announce to the panhel or dean or whoever makes these rules that unless this insanity stops, your chapter will drop out of the panhel council and rush on your own initiatives.
I define insanity as all rules restricting your ability to meet another student, make a friend, and sign him/her up.
The ideal - and I know of no campus where sororities do this - is spring rush for high school seniors. Invite the boys/girls to visit your house for a big spring weekend, and let them eat, sleep, party, shower, etc. with the members. You get to know them in a 36-hour/48-hour period, and they get to know you. Late Sat. night or early Sun., you offer them a pledge pin if they will accept.
If you did three big spring rush weekends, you'll fill the house for fall. If you don't get quite enough, you have summer party in the areas where your members live (a lakeparty, BBQ, etc.) and invite incoming students.
And if the house is still not full, you have more functions during orientation and registration and the first week of classes.
IF you still haven't filled the house, please give up and mail the charter back to Indianapolis.
