Both two points I thought of!

I would push your win with APhi and the Greek Week as well - guys are competitive and want to be in the best fraternity. I would also be honest in that you are rebuilding and that you are looking for quality men - then make them feel like they are quantity. If you find out Kyle had a 4.0 GPA and was valedictorian, say "Kyle, we're really trying to boost our grades and we've heard you know just how to do it..." but don't make him feel like the token nerd. Similarly, if Billy is good at football, brag about how you did awesome in IMs or how it'd be great to have him on your IM team...
