Most (if not all) NPC sororities have regional and (inter)national offices that can help, but you must start asking NOW. Start at the top - call AND e-mail your sorority's national officer for recruitment/membership. If you don't get an answer within 3 days, call/e-mail again. Copy the president. AND copy regional officers!

Ask for spring training with a traveling consultant, or a special recruitment consultant (or both). Ask for that same help during your pre-recruitment workshop week.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! that wheel until you get help!

But don't wait - start from your end, too, with the suggestions from the posters above.
And get out your recruitment manual - yes, you do have one - and read it word for word!
It will take you more than 1 rush - plan on doing this for at least 2 years.
Much, much good luck and good wishes to you!

Also - Get some practice on conversation. One thing that can help a lot is if you can get another chapter to practice with. Maybe there is another chapter where a lot of girls have friends? Have them come over and pretend to be PNMs, and then you go over there and pretend to be PNMs. Run it just like first party, and then talk about what happened.
