Same here BigRedBeta- while we mixed with a variety of sororities, having lots of individual personal connections via relatives or boyfriend/girlfriend relationships generally meant we would mix with that sorority with some frequency.
I will be interested to hear more about this matching for Greek Weeks and the like since at the big Southern schools we really don't do this kind of thing too much. Most social events tend to be planned between chapters- and there are few, if any, centrally organized events where all Greeks participate.
It has been tried, but it does not usually work. I think part of that is because at a really big state school the Greeks cover a very diverse range of people and it is not easy to get them all on the same page for anything.
Rush support is tricky- usually just sorority women we knew personally and at times outside of Panhellenic formal rush. During formal sorority rush the rules were incredibly strict. Panhellenic rushees and any actives involved in the rush process were not even supposed to talk to guys in fraternities, and any kind of social events during their formal rush period were absolutely forbidden. As that overlaps with fraternity rush, any rush support usually happens in the summer and then on an individual basis.
