we also had a less than satisfactory rush in the spring this year. Since my take-over of rush chair i have set up some ideas with help of our alumni. One great idea is a pig roast on the first weekend of rush. What we are doing is doing it with a sorority on campus. we have Solo cups that have letters on it and we give them out to everyone who comes by. Doing it with a sorority gets girls there and freshman guys go where freshman girls are. This has worked in the past and we initiated 19 new members out of 26 bids given out. Give it a try.

Gamma Mu chapter is also struggling at the moment, we only got 1 new member for this entire year. I went to the RLC in Charlotte though and picked up a bunch of strategies. I would really recommend you read "Good Guys" a book about how to successfully rush. The author gave a presentation at the conference and it was pretty good. I also got to listen to Buckwheat speak. The key part of rush is developing a names list. Get the names of as many guys as possible and follow up on them. To get names, you have to talk to new people, but you can also ask for recommendations, particularly from sororities. If you get in their good graces, it will help you out in the long run. Other than that, everything that SOTeke mentioned was covered at the RLC, and if I were you, I would implement every strategy he covered; I know my chapter will next fall when Buckwheat comes down to help us out. Best of luck with rush.
