^ Oddly enough, there was a chapter at my school that did a S'mores party during FR ...

We had a portion of rush called "informal rush" (even though it was part of FR). If you were invited back to the first invitational round, informal rush was included in the invitation. This was the only portion that took place outside of the student center. It took place over the course of one evening and the following day, and each PNM could budget her time pretty much as she wished. One chapter reserved the BBQ pits near the student center for the evening and did a S'mores party.

DeltaBetaBaby, I agree with you that most of these ideas would work well for informal recruitment. To take my board game example - if you had a 2-3 hour long evening party, you would have enough time to teach PNMs a game like Settlers and play a full game and have time for some good conversation.
