Heya,
At Delta Nu, Beloit College, WI, we did something fun for philantrhopy and rush. We decorated flower pots and are donating them to a local homeless shelter. We called it a "Pot Party" it was pretty fun. You can get some cheap clay pots at Walmart or someplace, use acrylic paints, they work well! Anyhow they turned out really cute. Some where else to look for ideas is
www.residentassistant.com it is for RA's but they have some activities that work well for Rush.

Good Luck!
