Here at YSU, ZTA is the front-runner. They've been at quota (40) for as long as I can remember, but the other sororities are staging a comeback. For a while, only ZTA had a house, but I think all of them have one now.
I know from the fraternity standpoint, we dont have quotas thank god. My chapter has just under 40 guys, and will probably be above 50 by this time next year. We do it by recruiting year round, kind of unofficially. A brother will invite a potential to the house just to hang out. We dont even mention rushing for a while, until a consensus amongst the brothers that the guy should rush. Usually takes a semester of 'courting' before we actually initiate rush talk. Usually, the potential will bring it up first. I actually think around 2% of our brothers were aquired during rush week. It's just not a good forum to bring in new members.
I know that Panhel operates differently than IFC on every level, but it's something to think about. A lot has to do with visibility on campus and in the community. We've actually installed a University Relations Chair under our Programs Department. It all comes back to PR.
We've always been more concerned with initiating quality brothers, and not just numbers. I think once you move into that mentality as a group, you'll find that the girls you bring in will have a very positive effect on Rush.
Hope some of this helped.
