hey there, I'm in Alpha Phi Omega and have actualy served as rush chair at my chapter for two semesters (we do ours every semester, but teh spring class is usualy smaller then the fall.) i'm at a big school, but what we usualy find helpful is having "info meetings" were rushees come and just listen to us talk about APO and we answer there questions. Also we have social activies like movie night or ice cream trips, and a service event (touch on all three principles)
I've actualy found a lot of oru members atleast considered going through regular greek rush, but for some reason don't join a house. Howver, i don't really consider them rejects. (i went through rush but didn't join a house) a regular greek house isn't for everone. Expecially sinceat my school it can be awfully expensive and you HAVE to live in a house. just be patient with it and try to get the word out in as many ways as possible. I know so many people who are like "i would ahv joined that, but i didn't know about it" Good luck with your rush
