Rush Party Theme

Our sorority rush is in the end of January, and we were running over Rush themes today. I was wondering what theme parites worked for your houses in the past. Our house on campus is a mid-sized house that is that is active on campus in other organizations, it is a diverse house that is not cookie-cutter, and were def cute (I just wanted to throw that in)! We normally have parties that are classic and pretty, such parties as garden theme, and stary night. Please tell me what worked for your houses and how you ran. I think that Spring Rush is coming up and this is a good topic for sororities to start exchaning ideas in.

Thanks Lisa

We just had an event that you could turn into a theme. I'm a DG, so we did DG Live--like Saturday Night Live, where we did skits that involved the SNL characters, but were about our house and campus, you could turn that into a NYC theme, good timing too, show your support. Hope that works out! Good Luck with everyone who has defered recruitment like we do!

One theme that works for my chapter is a slumber party theme.

Our chapter did a similar party to what PinkRose said, we did childhood dreams, and since our philanthropy is Children Cancer Charities, it worked really well. There were chirstmas lights and stars and cresent moon lamps everywhere and clouds hanging around the room. Our name tags were clouds, they were really cute. Another sorority did a simlar theme and wore pjs for it, we took a more classic route and wore black pants, black shoes and blue, purple, or red oxford type shirts, it looked great. the year I went through they did a day at the park with lots of out doorsy decorations and all the girls were wearing letters and jean shorts. In spring everyone loved the luau theme because it was really relaxed and very cute. I hope the ideas help good luck.

One of our day themes this year was "Be an All-American with Sigma Kappa." (It was a week before 9-11, which made it a little freaky)

As a chapter every girl wore either a red, white or blue polo (Ralph Lauren), and either khaki shorts, skirt, or capris (also Ralph Lauren).

It was really easy to decorate and made a great day theme, and would be totally appropriate now.
