Tips for Colony Recruitment

This Spring will be my Fraternity's first recruitment efforts as a Colony. We used to be a Chapter on our campus back in the 80's, but obviously we have lost the presence on campus since then.

We currently have 34 Brothers in the Alpha/Founding class including myself, and as such are smaller compared to the other Fraternities at our school. I believe the average size is 60-70 actives, and our educator from National said we should reach this point for membership in order to reach Charter.

Another Fraternity had come onto our campus last year and took almost every single guy that wasn't socially challenged and rushed them, leading to questionable overall quality of the Brothers. I am currently a sophomore at my school, and would like to get Charter by the time I graduate, but I do not want to compromise quality over sheer quantity like they did.

I know Spring pledge classes are normally smaller than in the Fall, and we will be competing against already established and well-reputed Fraternities, but do any of you have some tips or points of advice to help us get high quality guys coming out of the gates?

Thanks
