Well, that's because rush is full of intangibles.
You can say that (example) you want to improve the overall GPA of the chapter and not take anyone who has under a 3.25 - but what if a woman comes in who is pretty, nice, well known on campus and everyone loves her - but she has a 2.7? Are you going to ax her because she doesn't fit the GPA part? That would be cutting off your nose to spite your face.
And of course, there's the chance you will take the girl with the awesome GPA, she'll meet a guy at the first mixer she goes to, start spending all her time with him and flunk out.
I Heart Recruitment and things like that are great, but if you take them too literally, you're missing the point. It's to make you more aware that rush is not just twice a year but all year round.
I also caution you against getting out of formal rush totally (not sure if you are planning on this, I couldn't tell). You need both kinds of recruitment to succeed.
Oh, and for God's sake, teach them the names of the founders. The amount of people who don't know their GLO's history is appalling.
