When you talk about small campuses that are overwhelmingly Greek (DePauw or W&L are the 2 that spring to mind) often there isn't anything else to do nearby, and the student body is largely affluent and has the $$$ for Greek life. That certainly isn't the case at every small campus. Plus, is it that Greek life is really attractive to all the people that join, or do they feel that if they don't, they won't have a social life?
Yes, you should be utilizing COB to the fullest. If you're not, you will have problems. But there's a difference between using COB to fill your chapter with women you know who would be great sisters and just didn't want to deal with formal rush, and using COB to give anything that walks a bid.
Sometimes women who would be great Greeks, just don't want to be Greek. That's their choice. I'll present the opportunity to them, but I'm not going to nag them and make every encounter with them a mini-rush until they can't stand to be around me. Maybe there are quality people, but if they don't have the money, time or grades, "quality" doesn't mean jack.
I just get really really tired of stating reality being called "making an excuse" by some of these national rush gurus.
