they picked one
 

thanks for all your help everyone... those were amazing ideas. the chapter voted and decided to go with making pillows/blankets for children who were victims of the Sep. 11 attacks, and also for a local syracuse shelter. (i personally wanted to go with the wish boxes or the bears, but no one listens to me anyway). anyway, i just wanted to say thanks again!

litp and have a happy holiday season!!

Sring Recruitment 2002
 

PhiSigFL@aol.com

:eek: Sring rush is just around the corner and I thought posting a question on the message board for ideas might even be better than asking our local alumni.
My question was this. Every year for rush workshops we always practice conversation by making the older sisters pretend they are rushees and the younger sisters have to try to "rush" them. It works fairly o.k, but I was wondering if any of ya'll have ever tried anything different. :confused:

A Bunch of Q's About Rush
 

Ok, So I have a few questions about recruitment. Or actually I need help with some new ideas. Oh, first I don't know if anyone remembers my post about running for vice archon but I got it Monday night!! Yeah!! Ok now to business. We have a whole bunch of containers in our office with different decorations for rush parties. We have one that has a whole bunch of Mardi Gras decorations, but none of us know how this party goes. We are having informal recruitment next week and we would love to do something along this theme if possible. So if anyone has done this party before or heard about it or has any suggestions please let me know. Also does anyone have any creative ideas for icebreaker games? We are all very nervous about recruitment for a few reasons, one because we are the smallest sorority on campus (but we have always gone for quality not quantity and have a much better result in the end anyways) and also we have a chapter consultant that will be here this week. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

Pref Night
 

Hey Sigsters,
I have heard other sisters mention there pref night in the general forums and some have mentioned having a brief ceremony afterwards that includes everyone. What do you do for that? I think that would be wonderful, to give everyone a chance to talk. Is it written anywhere in the ritual book and the archon just didn't tell me : )

as far as i know we don't have what you describe...you could always plan your own sisterhood afterwards...

Recruitment!!
 

hey girls
just wanted to see how everyone did with recruitment! the newest chapter @ syracuse did really well, especially since it was our first time and formal recruitment at SU is so so intense! we love all our new girls, and we'd love to hear how everyone else did!

rush ideas
 

I'm from the Epsilon Epsilon Chapter at Cal State Univ. of Bakersfield, and we always have fun rush ideas and events.
SOme really successful ones that I've done so far that really get the girls hooked and reeled in are:
- Dressing up as something that represents you (ex: as a
soccer player or whatever sport you enjoy, nurse, teacher,
or whatever suits you) This shows our inclusiveness and
originality and lots of girls like that.
- slide show night is also cool and you can include pix from
philanthropies that you've done, sisterhood events, socials...
- luau theme
- decade themes
These are just a couple that I can think of right now which can start you off!

Pref night
 

Hey girls!!

I'm the MRC for my chapter and i'm in the process of getting things straight for formal Recruitment. I have everything planned excepted Pref night!! i was just wondering how other chapter set up for pref. we do rush in the commons in different rooms so we don't have a house to use, just a plain old room. i was thinking of having rose petals on the floor in thewalkway to the circle. we have used columns in the past, but ours are old and breaking, i was hoping to try something new too.i was trying about using a real wishing well. (we are using it the first night in the wonderland theme) then we normally have white lights that aline the room. Do you have anymore idea of what your chapter does for pref. it would be helpful!!
thanks:)
LITP, mary

Fall Recruitment
 

Hello Ladies!

Our chapter is getting ready for fall recruitment, and we need to submit what we are going to do for "New Student Week". Basically, we will have an indoor table (so a pretty small area) and need fun activities to bring the new students to out booth. Any ideas?

Check out the other post, I think its for fundraising, about getting "Layed" by Phi Sigs, with the lays. If you can't sell them, give them out... Sorry if I stole some one's idea...
