Though some may have mixed opinions of this sugguestion. (And I'm not sure how NPC looks upon thier involvement with rush.) You may consider contacting some local alumnae for support. Alumnae can assist in many ways.

For community service projects, they will help to increase your visablity and numbers at events. For Rush, they may have some ideas from ages gone by, or be willing to help out with some of the smaller tasks during an event (i.e. manning a refreshman table) so as to free up actives to talk to guests. They may also beable to recommend young women that they may know that would be quality sisters.

Some con's do exist with involving alumnae. The major one is alumnae wanting to relive their active days or mean-well attempts that turn into controling enviroments. Do be up front with alumnae of what expectations or level of involvement that is approriate.

Good Luck!
