Actually, Lil'G, there is a good reason why the campus doesn't allow local groups to participate in NPC Formal Recruitment - the procedures and unanimous agreements of the NPC do not apply to them and it's almost impossible for a campus to administer an NPC Recruitment procedure at the same time as a non-NPC recruitment. If a local participated in NPC recruitment, they would have to entertain the same number of potential members at each event as the NPC groups. How can a chapter that (hypothetically) only has 25 members adequately interact with 6 groups of 50 women each day? They can't...and they come out looking worse for it.
My suggestion is to advertise heavily during campus formal recruitment (school newspaper, flyers and posters on campus) - get the word out that after the NPC recruitment is over, your group will be holding interest meetings. In your ads, specify what you stand for (never, ever 'dis the NPC groups, it's bad form and give you a bad rep) and what kind of member you are looking for.
If you can schedule far enough in advance, list the meeting place and time for the first interest meeting. Make it short and informational - a show & tell. Then, collect the names of the women that show up and send out invitations to your first recruitment event. Be sure to include a note on how much you enjoyed meeting them and seeing their interest in your group.
