So this sort of thing is allowed?
Could they do the same thing in return?

I'm just thinking about getting our name out there.

So you start a whole thread and only bother to read the last post?

R really is IF.

Sure, it's allowed but:

Wouldn't you rather promote yourselves rather than using a fraternity to get your name out there?

Involving a fraternity too much in your recruitment strategies is potentially counterproductive. You want to attract girls who are interested in YOU, not girls who want to hang around ___ fraternity and get an "I <3 _____ Men" tee shirts.

Just something to think about.

Very true. I have known girls who are turned off by certain sororities simply because they are known to hang out with one fraternity all the time.

Maybe a potential member loves your chapter, but she also has a bad association with one of the fraternities, or one of it's members. Let's pretend her ex-boyfriend, with whom she had a particularly messy breakup, is a member. She attends your recruitment party, and half of the people there are brothers of that fraternity. Her ex is there. She might be inclined to walk back out the door. You might not associate with that fraternity 24/7. That might have been the first event that you've ever done together. But to that potential member, it might appear as if you'll constantly be hanging out with them.

Whether it's against the rules or not, I would strongly recommend not involving fraternities in any kind of recruitment activity.
