This was popular at W&L too. It was usually done by the most "top tier" fraternities. I can think of one annual "supermixer" that involved like 4 fraternities and 2 sororities. The fact that supermixers are typically banned by national organizations only made it cooler in their eyes.
evon1221, I think it's important to consider what the goals for your group are. Do you want to be "top tier" group at all costs? You might take one strategy if that's the case. Do you want to be an alternative group to the current groups and draw in guys that don't want to haze, etc., and not care if everyone else likes you? You'd take another strategy if that's the case.
I have seen groups that were in the gutter with low membership take both of the strategies and achieve success (by this I mean high membership numbers, and the types of members and prestige they were seeking).
