Low Rush Numbers

[Firehouse]

I'm in Florida but I don't know your campus. However, I'm going to assume that the sorority system is not yet firmly established there, and that you do not yet have houses. I'm also going to assume that FAU is something of a commuter school where it's difficult to find large gatherings of students in the middle of the day.
Standing along a breezeway is not the way to get the kind of attention you want. In order to lure women to join you have to have interesting something to sell, something that can be deomnstrated easily and in a context that favors you. It sounds like your rush rules are geared to keeping the boys away, and yet I'd think in your case associating with the male students is exactly what you'd want to do to promote sororities. We all understand that Greek life is more than social, but to rushees social life is the most obvious and most visible pace to start. If I wanted to ensure a large number of women signing up for rush, I'd start by having Panhellenic set up a social - a mixer - with all the fraternities on campus, and invite all the freshmen women. Purely social, with a sign-up table.
The way you do it now sounds too...vanilla, like any miscellaneous club. Having all the sporority women and all the fraternity men in one place enjoynig themselves is a great way to interest people who wil be much more comfortable in that setting than standing on a breezeway. After the system is established and the product is established and it becomes a buyers' market, then you can re-institute all those rigid, stifling Panhellenic rush rules if you want. Trust me; this will work.
