There was lots and lots of food, games (both icebreakers and regular board games), and general silliness. I remember it being a great time for pledges to interview each other for their sig books. The active brothers "crashed" (this was planned) towards the end of the night, after the pledges had had ample time to bond with each other.
*This is approximate. Looking back, it felt like six to eight hours' worth of fun but who knows. I know it always ended well after midnight.

Ahhh! That sounds nice, I would love to plan that activity for the pledge class. Schedules seem to ALWAYS get in the way of things though. Most students at Wayne State University work and go to school, and some (myself included) have families to consider.
That shouldn't get in the way of a great idea though.
I like it!
