Valentine's social
 

We're having a Valentine's Day social with a fraternity we don't know all that well (I know them, but most of my sisters had their first introduction to them less than a week ago due to some hard work by myself and another sister). Problem is, we're not really sure what we should do. We're thinking of a pot luck (they claim they can cook. I have yet to see any evidence of this. Their fridge is a notorious haven for uneaten Kraft Dinner). Does anyone have any ideas for games that I can suggest to our social (she asked me for suggestions on this.)
If you could give details, that'd be great...we don't have a big greek system so sometimes when I read suggestions for activities I 'm kind of like, "um....what is that, exactly......?" PM me if it gets too long for a post....
Thanks guys!

Remember the MTV gameshow Singled Out? That would be a cute game to play at a Valentine social. Or the Dating Game or anything along those lines. Anything that allows your sisters to get to know the boys should go over just fine. I can't think of anything else, but I will post if I do. Good luck :)

You could always do a Crush Dance
You let the guys do a scavenger hunt to figure out which girl is their 'date' for the evening
The scavenger hunt could apply for the girls as well

Social Themes
 

I am one of my chapter's social chairs and I am going to be doing a casino theme with one of the fraternities on my campus...has anyone used this theme before and do they have any suggestions for it? Thank you.:D

give us some idea of what you want to happen
do you want decorations?
do you want actual games?
or do you just want to do a Vegas theme?
what is the plan and i can try to help?

I kind of want a vegas theme...I want decorations and game ideas...like poker, blackjack, but I am not a big gambler so I dunno of any other fun games (people love slots, but those cost a lot of money so we wont be able to get that)...what other games don't cost much money, I'm gonna give this budget $75 total with food (chips and drinks). EVERYTHING! lol

sounds like you got a good plan
are you having someone dress up and walk around with 'drinks'
are you designating dealers?
are you giving out those plastic chips?

Casino Night
 

I haven't thought of having people give out drinks...but I am having dealers and plastic chips.

well, you don't have to go all out
are you giving out prizes?

i think so or the top two people who get the most amount of points from the winnings they have will recieve a cool prize

Social Themes
 

I am trying to think of cute and unique social ideas to do...one fraternity wants to do a Halloween social with nuts and bolts being our ice breaker, which is fine...but I dunno what else to do...another fraternity we are having a Casino theme social I thought about where we will play poker, blackjack, etc., and another we are having a Sports theme social where we will pair up our sororoity and fraternity together and plit it fairlt in half, same amount of boys and girls on each team and play like touch football or flag, and basketball, volleyball...But, we have 4 other fraternities...no idea what to do with them...help!!!

See if you can do a search on this topic over all the boards. There are some really good ideas, especially on the Social Board (under the general forum). My favorite social that I attended was the Superhero social where you dressed as your favorite superhero. It was fun!

for the love of macaroni and cheese, please don't do the 'thug' or 'ghetto' social

Themes in the past
 

The cutest social we had was the pajama themed social. All the girls dressed up in comfy pajama pants, tank tops, and slippers (and a few even brought teddies) and the guys were in sweats and shirts. It was a cool idea, because we didn't have to worry about being all dressed up.:)

Tonight, we're having a Toga Party! I know, it's so typical, but I know we're going to have a blast! (When I say "we" I am referring to the chapter I advise and my boyfriend's fraternity). I bought all types of stuff to decorate my toga. Vine-like things and grapes...ohh, it's going to be fun!!!! :D
