I think this depends on the organization and the situation. Of course you're going to educate them about the organization, but you may not do it in the same way as a new member class.

To the OP--flyers are not enough. You have to target the women you want to join your sorority and plan the steps to getting them to join (don't stalk, but motivate!) You have to talk to people on campus, anyone who will listen and ask for advice of faculty and staff. You have to "sell" that you're trying to keep this great campus tradition alive and you're looking for the right women who want to leave a legacy at your school.

It can be done. When I was a freshman, there was a sorority on my campus that had 4 members and by the time I graduated they had 20--which was a good size for my school. Good luck!
