I'm not sure why the "greek letter" qualifier is neccessary, "College"
may be more approrpriate to keep us from being compared to the Moose
or the Knights of Columbus. Last I saw the largest Social Fraternity was
around 230,000 brothers, we are at about 260,000 the last time I checked.
Some of the greek letter honoraries may be larger, but they generally
don't use the term brothers.

The leadership series-membership VP talks about rushing and has some good
advice.

Waering letters around always helps. Getting an article in the school
newspaper can't hurt. Have everyone try to bring one rushee with them.
Any chance of getting on which new freshmen were involved in scouting
(B/G) or community service while in HS?
Make sure they have something they can take home with them. Even if it
isn't a piece of National rush literature, just something so that they
see it when they drop it on their desk back in their dorm room. Having
National rush materials helps some as does having coipies of the pledge
manual (if only to consult)
Just some suggestions.

Try to have copies of the T&T, the ESAers will probably have copies of
the Jonquil.
