With the exception of the past year, which has just been incredible for us, we were the group that struggled to get new members. The house was a lil different a year ago, smaller, and as always, our rush was the week after formal recruitment. Actually it begins on Pref Night so sometimes any girl that was cut first round will maybe come to us.
Anyway: you will be surprised at how winning certain events grabs a PNM's attention. I know that we overdo it sometimes and say yes we took second in greek week twice in a row, 2nd in superbowl, blah blah blah. But if you have that to catch people's attention, they may ask, well gee how did you do that and what is that?
We also try to pull in girls who are a little unsure about the sorority process and say that our events are free, no pressure, just come check us out type of deals (which they are.)
We also pass out flyers and information to EVERYONE. If you get one of your more outgoing brothers to start passing out flyers to everyone in the quad, you might grab a few quality bros that may have never thought about rushing but you just opened a door for them. DON'T DISCRIMINATE!
Update or create a website. Make sure it has plenty of information, pictures, contact info. A good portion of the girls we get each semester checked out the website before coming to events.
