You said it right there...it is not the fault of deferred recruitment, it isn't the campus culture, it is because the girls aren't COBing. They need to know this isn't an option, they HAVE to do it the same as they have to go to meetings or ritual.
As soon as spring rush is over, they need to get a list of girls who didn't match, if there are any. Give them a couple weeks to get over formal - not everyone wants to jump back in after feeling rejected. If the sisters know any of these women, they should contact them personally and invite them to COB events throughout the semester. The key is making the rushees feel they are there because the sisters know and like them, not to increase numbers.
[blunt]Do you feel that AEPhi's history as a "Jewish sorority" is a factor in low numbers? Or is it the opposite, not being used enough? I have no idea of the religious makeup of your campus so I thought I would throw that out there. [/blunt]
