We had a neighboring chapter come help us with rush. We did our best to make sure that all the PNMs met at least one ZE Kappa (we rush 2 on 2, so we paired ZEs with Xs 'cuz they were better rushers). However, we had several women cut us because they didn't feel they'd met enough ZEs. On the other hand, many of the girls who went Kappa commented that they really liked the fact that an older, larger chapter drove 6 hours to come to the aid of a smaller, newer chapter that needed it. And we returned the visit that spring and made some friends. So all in all I think it was good. Just try to make sure that you pair locals with guests so that PNMs feel that they get to meet at least one woman from the home chapter.
