Bumping this thread (which has a lot of great suggestions and thoughts, BTW) to ask if anyone has any suggestions for things a chapter might do during freshman orientation week to put their name out there BEFORE the stereotypes begin forming?

I'd check your campus recruitment rules before doing anything. The last thing a struggling chapter needs is rush infractions! A good way to get your name out there is to have all of your members wear their letters and hang out where freshmen may be. These members should take care to look clean and presentable and should be VERY polite and pleasant. No body can really speak with freshmen directly, but making it look like your letters are all over campus could help you get your chapter's foot through the door so to speak.

Does your campus have an organized freshman dorm move in?

We've had our girls wear lettered shirts and help girls move into the freshman girls dorm. If your housing and Panhellenic allows it (and depending when your rush is!), maybe that's something you can look into.
