There is no "we had to cut a certain number of rushees" excuse like in formal rush.

The same goes for chalking and facebook/myspace pages.

A much better idea is to have every member of the sorority invite their personal friends to open bid parties.

I don't see it as desperate at all.

Depending on the campus, there may be a higher constitiuency of students who might not be otherwise quite aware of the existence of Greeks and its practices. There might also be no "formal" method of advertising informal recruitment for girls who went bidless, or for some reason did not go through formal rush. Some girls might have been interested but not have known where to look.

I'm split. :/
Um, what do YOU think about it? Do you know why the group did not reach total? Does it necessarily make them lesser because they have fewer members than they "ought to" have? I don't know what the situation is, but it seems like you might not know much about it, either.

Why not check them out and see what they are about? You may just like what you see.
