I personally don't agree with this, either, but it has already been decdied by the chapter that we do this.
Thank you all for your support and I am considerring running for president in the spring (when we have our elections). Hopefully our chapter will double by that time.

Well, you might not be able to have a proper recruitment with only 4 girls. I know in our rounds at my school, there were about 26 girls in a party. The smallest sorority at my school had to ask other sisters from schools to come help them, and they had to double rush EVERYONE. This is a national sorority, and since yours is local, there might not be people to call on to help you with recruitment. No one got one on one time with a member.
They did something pretty shady though (which is why I am not mentioning which sorority) - they kept inviting every pnm back to parties, even after the pnm had cut them. The reason is, if for example, they get cut by 2 sororities - they don't have the opportunity to cut the ones they didn't like, so if by chance the next day the pnm doesn't have the opportunity to cut, then if this particular sorority invites them back anyways - they have to keep going back day after day.
Anyways, to make a long story short, not many girls went this sorority during recruitment because of the way they presented themseleves. When I went through, I cut them twice and they STILL kept inviting me back. Why would you want a girl after she has cut you twice?
Anywho - on a positive note, when they did informal recruitment, they picked up a lot of girls because it was much more relaxed and they didn't have to do the "rounds" and the structure of formal recruitment, so it ended up working out a lot better for them. They have a pretty good size group now. I know 1 or 2 girls in this sorority, and they said that the small group attracted them anyways.
Everything happens for a reason, keep your aggressive attitude about making the chapter better. As the saying goes, plan for the worst and hope for the best.
