hmmm... i don't know how your school works and all but in the beginning of the Fall semester, our school has a large orientation for all new students. This semester we really need the girls so a lot of our girls are going to be orientation leaders so we can promote ourselves. Our booth is also going to be out there. The other benefit about being local is our PHC doesn't allow us to do Formal Recruitment with them so we can advertise ourselves in anyway possible while PHC has to advertise as a whole (meaning we can wear our letters and the nationals can't etc)
Another way is referrals. A lot of our girls come out because a friend of a friend of someone's cousin told them about us. We are gonna get a lot of girls this semester via that way. Another suggestion: If you have a lot of younger girls in your sorority, they will probably find more freshman in their classes than say a ready to graduate senior. Always talk to PNMs first, get to know them and THEN ask them if they are interested in a sorority. Remembering their names and small details about them is also a good idea. (Where they are from, major, etc.)
But I agree, having a booth out in the quad area with 50 girls behind it won't really help... it just makes it more intimidating honestly.
Good luck.
