Need ideas!!!

Off the bat my first reaction is to say read I <3 Recruitment by Coffey and Gendron if you haven't already. A lot in that book can be geared toward the "exclusively COB" type of Recruitment and I think would do the chapter you advise a lot of good.

For other ideas, I have to poke around, but will post more later.

I think the problem is thinking in terms of "events." People meeting people, becoming friends with them, and introducing them to their friends (who happen to be their sisters) is what COB is about. And becoming friends with someone requires one on one time. If every time your friend Jodie asks you to do something you're in the conpany of her entire sorority, you're going to wonder if she really thinks of you as her friend or just as a warm body to recruit.

Oh, and although you probably think I'm nuts, I would encourage the Panhel to re-institute a structured rush period if you don't have one anymore. COB is important, but so is an open event that women can come to. Contacting a sorority directly can be a little daunting for some women - you are pretty much saying to that sorority "I like you" and laying yourself on the line for possible rejection. Signing up to rush all the sororities doesn't mean you put yourself out there quite so much. And this goes for the sororities approaching women as well.
