Last year (2002-03 school year), we spent about the same amount as you on recruitment. 8 girls went through, and quota was 3 because 2 of those girls dropped out. We got one girl, and we're a national. We were devastated.

We COBed like crazy. It was exactly the kick in the pants that we needed. We were at total by the end of the year. We initiated about 15 sisters that year. The previous year we initiated 8.

You have 2 choices as I see it:
1. Learn how to Rush in a formal situation. Maybe the other sororities in Panhellenic would be interested in giving you guys a workshop. Or talk to people on GC about what they do.
2. COB really hard. Is that where you get most of your girls? Then concentrate on it.

I wouldn't entirely drop out of the Panhellenic council. If you girls decide that you don't care for formal recruitment settings, is it possible for you to forgo formal recruitment and only COB?
