Maybe these groups need to think outside the box (I know...I hate that phrase too but it fits!) If double rushing makes girls immediately not want to give a chapter a chance, maybe small chapters should dump the one on one idea for the early rounds when PNMs outnumber sisters. A GROUP activity may be a better idea. Some of the recruitment threads talk about games at their parties to help sisters get to know the PNMs and vice versa. Not many girls start out at the first party asking "What is so great about your sisterhood?" The chapter could instead focus on answering the common first party questions like "What's your philanthropy?", "What do y'all do for fun?", "What groups are your members involved in on campus?" etc. If done right, they'd seem innovative and fun not desperate.
