things that work for us:
volunteer to help at new student orientation. plant the seed in the heads of the incoming freshmen. offer to give them tours of campus and make sure one of the stops is your house.
make sure your local brothers talk to kids they went to high school with. they're your best summer rush tools.
have informal rush events, like cookouts or pick-up football games, for the non-freshmen recruits.
if Penn St. has a full-time newspaper over the summer, take out a small ad. they usually give discounts to student organizations. parents love reading the campus newspaper when they are around for orientation and as you know, rushing the parent is just as important as rushing the student
...also, talk to the AGR's here in Raleigh. They're our next door neighbors and they have a strong chapter. Maybe they can lend some more advice.
