Indeed, colleges can be a fantastic resource for the SCA. I am a college recruit myself. But relize that college students will require a lot of gold key items; and _very plesant_ people to help guide them; closer to their age the better. And will require rides to events or any activities that are not on capus.
 
Also realize that most likely you are recruiting for the SCA as when they graduate and go, whereever, they will find the local chapter. Of course since DC is such a big draw a good number my stay on.

Disreputable curs!!!  Sorry, as an honorary member of the 3 Skulls, I felt
obligated to say that. :)

Last I heard (and to be fair, this was a long while ago), their security
activities were done independent of the SCA. They viewed themselves as
much more than an SCA household.  So I don't know how much recruiting was
done there. However, an SCA presence at sci-fi cons, ren faires, etc. has
paid off for some of groups.  Smaller cons/faires are often willing to
give the SCA space and admission for free in exchange for demos - the SCA
provides free entertainment.

How is Ponte Alto's relationship to the local universities?  This can be a
goldmine for groups in college towns.
