Informational nights can actually be really fun if you make them that way. A couple times when I was active, my chapter put on a "fashion show" and had sisters wear different sorority attire. A few girls wore lettered shirts, a few wore jerseys (we all received them at initiation), some wore badge attire, others wore whites, etc. We had an announcer (who was usually the funniest/most entertaining out of all of us) who would describe what everyone was wearing, and when each outfit might be worn.

We also played a game of Bingo where all of the spaces were things having to do with the sorority (AST, green & gold, anchor, yellow rose, pearl, our motto, founding date, national philanthropy, etc.)

All of the sisters would then talk about fun/meaningful things, like how they got their nicknames, and what their best memories are with the sorority.

Then we'd open it up to a Q & A session.

Have fun with it!
