I am also a brother (yes, it's brother, no, I'm not confused) of Alpha Rho Chi, a co-ed, professional/social fraternity for architecture and the allied arts. This year I am worthy supervisor and rush director. While I do already have a few ideas for rush this year, I am very open to suggestions. Finding events which are somewhat inexpensive( I have a very limited budget this semester) and will be popular with both men and women are my two biggest obstacles. Thanks for any advice!

People here have said it before, that events don't bring people in, people do. Whatever you do choose for your recruitment/rush events, make sure that there is plenty of time and space for one-on-one conversations. Talk to your current members and find out what made them interested in joining, and work around those ideas. Figure out what is special about your organization. Why do people choose yours over a purely social or gender-based fraternity or sorority?
Something that pops in my mind, since your org is for people in architecture, is having a lego-building activity. Separate people into groups of 3-5 people and have each one build something (either the same thing, or something different). It's fun, engaging, and encourages teamwork.
