I am going to caution you against doing any type of trivia game that might scare the PNMs by putting them on the spot. If you do a contest, make it something fun and maybe non-sorority related so PNMs don't feel more pressure than they already do.

I'm also really urging you to not do the speed dating thing for rush. One of the sororities did that the year I rushed, and it was very awkward and made it feel like a cattle call. It was just a very unnatural type of setting for conversation - forced, and you felt like everyone next to you was listening to everything you said. It got a very bad reaction from PNMs, and the chapter never did it again. IMO a traditional rotation would work better, or even better than that (since it's COB), just form some recruitment groups and challenge all the members in certain groups to talk with certain PNMs at each event. COB is perfect for casual conversation and getting to see the "real" PNM.
