With only 2 of 5 at total, you do not need the competition of additional new sororities at your campus. And there should be a vote in Panhellenic to lower total to something that is more feasible so the other chapters can catch up. If the majority of the chapters are not at total, then total is not a feasible number.
I'd recommend coming together as a Panhellenic to get more PNM's out at recruitment, as well as Panhellenic holding recruitment workshops. Bringing in guest faciliatators, etc., to hold conversation workshops, party planning, etc.
Chapters that "mock rush" one another are very successful events-- it gets two sororities to mingle and gives both an opportunity to practice conversation.
Practicing a no-frills recruitment and keeping the focus more on conversation and less on decoration will be more successful.
Also keep in mind that recruitment goes beyond COB and FR. It's also a lot about projecting a positive image. Wear letters, recognize members and encourage members to bring non-sorority friends to events. Also, make sure members are well-rounded, joining activities outside of the sorority. When you hold an event, submit a press release to the school paper. Put together a PR campaign to gain additional campus exposure for the sorority.
