Welcome to the forums! You're actually in a pretty darn good location for tournaments, with UIUC, Chicago, Northwestern, and WUSTL all not too far away. The closest thing you'll get to a "novice tournament" until the Spring is Purdue's mirror of the Delta Burke set on November 15th. As for recruitment, we have an activities fair in the fall and winter every year that's our primary method of getting new members, so you should see if your school does anything similar.
