Try to help them during rush not to get discouraged if girls they like don't come back, and to focus on the ones they do like who are showing up. Encourage them to COB and make friends outside the sorority.
33girl hit the nail right on the head. Having totals can be a killer especially if what you say about a school of 900 students.

I would imagine that you have dorm sections and not houses.

Making friends with those that the girls meet and inviting them for social things for just a get to know each other is always good. Many non GLO women really have no idea what Sororities are actually all about. It would be a godd time to let them know what your chapter does, how close they are, what the participate in.

Being an advisor is just that advising, not hounding or demanding that they do things your way as they will resent you for it.

It sounds like you may make a good advisor as you have seen how not to handle situations.
