Some thoughts and ideas
I think that the main idea behind the Powder Puff game is to get different sororities together with the help of fraternities to raise money for a good cause and in the process to have fun.
On a political note I don't think we would change the name of the event because of what happened a year ago, at one school that got a lot of press. In my experience changing a name does not always change people's attitudes. In ASA we are supposed to call Pledges, New Members and the majority of the time this just confuses people and most of the chapters I have visited still call them Pledges. So I don't think changing the name of an event would do anything but cause confusion.
I think that sometimes the "fun and social" side of Greek life has gotten pushed aside as we have tried to make people focus on our other good aspects. So having explained that WE want to put together this event, because it will be fun, social and for a good cause I'd like to restate the original question- Has anyone ever played Powder Puff football and if so can you remember any aspects of how the event was set up?
Since other people seem to be interested in this topic here are some ideas I was thinking of...
Set an entry fee for each Sorority
Ask a Fraternity to volunteer members to be coaches, cheerleaders and refs for the event
Try to get community sponsors for food and drinks so we could host a cook out after the game.
Ask the school if we could use their cones, time clock, footballs and flags that they use for flag football.
Some things I need help with:
How to set up a tournament type schedule
Where to get supplies like flags and cones if the school will not let us use theirs
