oops.
just realized that i totally skipped over how to do an informal party.
when the chapter i advised was a colony, they had to do a few informal recruitment parties. they would do a movie night, or a grey's anatomy(or other favorite tv show) and serve popcorn and soft drinks. they had a cook out one time, invited girls out to dinner, invited girls to be their guest at a campus sporting event, bowling, ice skating, had a beach party , played mini golf,grabbed a coffee,etc.
they have done parties as an entire chapter and at other times the recruitment v.p. divided the chapter up into smaller rush groups-say between 5 and 6 people. each group has to decide what their group is going to do and between the 6 of them, they have to come up with 2 or 3 pnms. when the group settles on what activity they are going to do and who they want to invite they tell the recruitment vp so that she can keep a master list, and so that no two groups are rushing the same girls. it is suggested that each group start by asking friends or classmates who they think would enjoy meeting the sorority members and might be a good fit with the chapter.
after the first group activity, they may decide to invite their interested pnms to another activity, and then in a week or two the whole chapter would hold a party or get-together so that the entire chapter could meet the pnms.
