If you instead, say, host a kickball game and mix people up on teams, it could be a fun way for people to meet each other. Again, I have no idea what the norm is on your campus, but you should try to think of the type of events where it wouldn't be weird for people to be meeting new people of their own gender.
5) Are you focusing mainly on the NPC and traditional IFC groups? You may wish to think about what other groups could be fun to mix with.

4) I also don't know my campus social norms either. As a result of being in my fraternity I have never been to a greek mixer or formal! (strange, right). But I think your suggestions are very good. I would do something like that.
5) Subconsciously I was thinking NPC, but truthfully it would include IFC as well. Being a guy myself IFC seems easy while NPC seems daunting. I mean for IFC I could throw together a video game tournament like nothing. For NPC I would not know as easily... co-rec sports and philanthropy sound very do-able ways to start. And you are right, there are many other groups not included in NPC or IFC worth considering.

Truth.

Double truth. I guess that is what this whole thread is about. Maintaining that we are different, but we aren't here to rub your face in it and make you uncomfortable. As for getting the boys to talk to girls... thats hopeless :P
