Lobo congats on being initiated. Let me start off by saying anything can be turned into a brotherhood event, if you let. You have to want to let the bond grow. speaking for myself some great events i always liked were thing like road trips, my chapter is in baltimore md but we use to drive all over the place for pretty much no reason looking back on it. The first time i had white castle is b/c we were sitting around one night at like 1 in the morning and we felt hungry, one of the guys who was from new york said hey lets go to white castle. The closest white castle was on broadway in Philadelphia (2 hrs away). it was a good trip that i wont go into here but about once a month for the next year a group of us would go hit the UPenn chapter and then get white castle on the way home.

another good event is what my chapter calls a Good & Wellfair (G&W), i think other chaptes call it thorns and roses. But pretty much its a way to clear the air. Its a candle pass where anything can be talked about, good/bad and it stays in that room.

also having a movie night once a month is good. some good brotherhood movies: Varsity blue, hoosiers, matrix, animal house, dead poets society, swingers, majr league, the replacements and so on. either in your house or reserve a lecture hall and show it on campus if you can.

also a good team challenge: sometimes we play capture the flag all over campus, every thursday in the town around our school people get together in a local gym and play dogdge ball (like 74 to 100 people) so we do that every once in a while. paint ball is good, maybe take over a mini golf place for a couple hours. stuff like that, and the best thing with events like these are not only are you going to be getting the guys closer, but for most of the events i listed you can also invite prospectives out to them and turn them into a rush event as well.

hoped this helped.
