I don't really think that matters. The ROI of putting up fliers is not that great. Instead of doing that, use your time productively doing some of the things violetpretty or honeychile has suggested.

By putting up fliers you are not giving anyone a compelling reason to even check out your group no matter how many people actually stop to read them. (which by the way, not many people actually stop to read fliers on their way to Accounting class)

If you take a girl individually, get to know her, become friends with her, and then introduce her to the other 3 members you already have that connection with her and she may think "hey, lDoCvOe is a pretty cool girl! Maybe I should consider joining her sorority because the other girls here may be just as fun to hang out with"

Are other groups at the school besides Greeks having a problem recruiting members?

If the school is accepting a lot of people who don't want to get anything out of college but a degree, there's really nothing you can do about that. Some people are like that - if they don't get 2X as much as they give they want nothing to do with a group.

Don't bother with "traditional" rush things like parties and ice cream socials, like violetpretty said. You get yourselves hyped up and it doesn't have a great return. Just bring women who are your friends into the circle of your sisters. If you like them, give them a bid.

My school sounds almost exactly like yours. We have 4 local sororities and frats at a small-town school. Our girls try to "spread out." Talk to girls from your sports teams, classes, clubs...anyone you already have something in common with. If you have spring rush like we do, then start recruiting as soon as the school years starts. I know you're looking at upperclassmen (I pledged as a junior), but don't forget freshmen either.
