I Spy an ADPi doesn't have to be gotten rid of altogether, just altered to get rid of its negative connotations. The way we do it is that we label a hundred hawaiian lei's for for each frat on campus with little pieces of paper. The guys hand out the leis to all of the bros and then whenever they see a girl in her shirt, they give her a lei.
We use that as part of a spirit activity leading up to our main philanthropy event. Some other things we do are a "Singled Out" style game for all the guys (we play three times and then the three girls and all the winners go out on a group date)
We also do a toy drive at Christmas time with Sigma Chi and then have a really fun "gift wrapping party" that turns into an exchange basically.
Our main activity though is a huge soccer tournament between all the fraternities. The guys get really competitive and love it. We give the winning teams t-shirts. We charge the guys an entrance fee to play. Last year we raised over 6000 dollars.
Some other sororities at USC do these philanthropies: fashion show, a basketball tournament (Alpha Phi), Pool Tournament (Tri-Delt), Bowling Tournament (Gamma Phi Beta), Flag Football (Alpha Chi Omega), Putt-Putt Golf TOurnament on the row (Kappa), Water related activities, best eyes on the row(you put money in the jar for who you want to win) (delta gamma), pie-eating contest (pi-phi), volleyball tournament (theta).
Some frats do some things that could probably be used too: Casino night (theta xi), date/firemen auction (PIKE), Sumo Wrestiling (Phi Sig), Foxy Boxing (they rent supersize boxing gloves and an inflated ring) (ATO), sand-related activities (PiKapp), Christmas tree sales (Sigma Nu), Wheelchair Basketball (TKE), Watermellon related activities (lambda chi), flag football (SAE), Shopping Cart races (Phi Psi)
Really you can do anything, just make sure it has a good name, good advertisements, and cute t-shirts!
