Last semester we had a combination social/service activity with a fraternity - we had a Senior Citizen's Prom at the local Sr. Citizen's Center! It was SOOO cute - we all went and dressed up, and so did the guys and we worked with the director of the center to plan events for the senior citizens to enjoy. We have also done a hay ride and corn maze around Halloween which was really fun. We've also paired with a fraternity and "adopted" a family for Christmas. I think we did this through a local charity, and we went Xmas Shopping for a family and donated the gifts. We've also done dry dinners at fraternity houses where we've made dinner together and had a dance. Hmmm... I'm trying to keep thinking, but those are the ones sI remember off the top of my head. Hope that helps!

This is probably a dumb question but where do you get a keg of rootbeer? This idea sounds really fun.

Haunted Tour of the campus
 

One of the best socials that I was part of was a haunted tour :eek: of our campus. We did this with one of our local sororities and we all had a blast.

Our social chairman wore a nice suit and a devil's mask with a plastic pitchfork to fit the theme. We then toured the campus and heard all the ghost stories. This worked really good for us because we have a lot of activity on our campus.

If your campus doesn't have any crazy ghost stories there are many websites that have lots of information you could reference and find some local sites!

:eek:

A few ideas that I have that havent been mentioned are:

1.) Paintball
2.) Laser tag

3.) Maize maze - which is a cornstalk field that has been developed into a maze for people to find their way through it. this is one located in lancaster, pa but if you you type maize maze into google their are lots of websites that pop-up and there are usually a couple other things to do there as well. to complete the total maze finding all the check points usually takes at least two hours you could divide up into groups of four or so and work your way through the maze.

All of these of course depend on the amount of money and resources you have available to your chapter

I say, why not a HALO 3 tournament social for those video game junkies! Can establish a network of people from different areas of the campus. Also, could think about a intellectual conversation over different theories.

we also don't drink in events

other events we had done is
video game nigth
icecram social

May I ask where these websites are? I'm dying to find out about any activity on my campus.

Stuffed animal dodgeball
 

it is hillarious and you really dont have to worry about getting hurt.

-get a big room, set up a couple of forts for people to hide in, if they want to, then just launch stuffed animals at each other. works best with a bunch of people.

no alcohol is needed for this event.
:):):)

A Broom ball game at our social on Friday resulted in 2 trips to the ER, two broken bones, and one surgery.

Ice Skating=Bad Idea

Oh I'm very sorry to hear that!

we did a "Murder Mystery Party": before the party, everyone was given a card with their character in it and one person was the murderer. You came dressed in costume and tried to figure out how the murderer was. It was lots of fun, really silly, but cute.

I, sadly, got killed pretty early.

Cocaine Buffet...

no alcohol involved.

Do a High Ropes Course

another idea is have a event called flemingo football... the boys tie there feet together and play against the girls in a flag football game its really funny to watch and fun to play

"Rocky Horror Picture Show" is a fun movie event...
