Unfortunately MIT hurt the whole system by going to deferred recruitment.

A few thoughts: Why didn't Panhel adjust total so that total was around what most chapters have in the fall?? That is what W&L Panhellenic does w/ our deferred rush--that way, the smallest chapters can still COB upperclass women in the fall.

Some of the groups, A Phi included are housed. They need ceiling to stay where it is at to be able to fill their facilities. Additionally helping one smaller chapter would potentially shut women out of a greek system that is already shrinking.
Ideas: contact men's groups, student council, leadership orgs, sports team captains and ask for referrals. Then ask the student orientation leaders, people who work in student affairs and any other pro-greek segment you can think of for more names.
Make COB a continuous effort and if your chapter has restrictions on how people can receive bids (ie must meet x # of sisters y times) remove them. Form a COB team that is athorized to give bids.
Finally maybe some alums can go back for a weekend workshop?? I know people suggest consultants and depending on who your National office can send it could be helpful but in my experience I think alums helping their own chpater sometimes works better.
