One of the main problems that we had last year was trying to differentiate ourselves from all the other Fraternities on campus. What we did was we looked at the things we liked to do and made them events. We also looked at events that would be fun, give the rushees a chance to talk to brothers, and also CHEAP. The two events that came out of this are poker and kickball.
Poker gives everyone a chance to talk and we normally give out a prize and have some pizza so its pretty cheap.
Kickball is free (except for the balls that we have to buy every semester because we always lose them) because we can reserve the gym for free. We also do the event with a sorority which makes it alittle easier to get guys out.
Sidenote about the BU Greek System. It makes up about 2-3% of the student body. There are five fraternities and 8 sororities where sisters outnumber brothers about 3 or 4 to 1. Fraternity rush is not very successful on a whole. 54 bids were given out this semester (we gave 10 and now have 8 new brothers).
Every school is different so these might not work for you guys, but I hope it helps
