The fraternity I'm a sweetheart of always invites us to their open house and house dinner night (the two offical men's rush events, the rest of the week is just hanging out, going out with the brothers etc.) They also buy us one pizza dinner with all their favorite rushees right before they hand out bids (not the night before, but a few days, as kind of clencher). I think it's to make the atmosphere more laid back and to show that the guys are social. plus girls can be good at stirring up conversation about things other than rush etc. so it has more of a hanging out vibe. All the real "rushing" happens on a one on one basis, or during times that I never see. Whenever I'm around the convo is always light hearted.
