Social, Sisterhood, etc... Events

I want to plan a few things for the chapter this year and contribute more, so I am looking up and brainstorming some ideas for sisterhoods and/or socials. I've found some great ideas so far on greekchat and other places, but I'm just wondering, what have been your favorite sisterhoods and/or socials that your chapters have done?
I think so far, my favorite social we have is a mixer with Sig Ep every year called Chi O Capture where we "capture" a date and then party with him at the event planned. We actually get to know the people in the other GLO instead of the mixers where we just happen to show up at the same place and don't mix.
As for sisterhoods, I really wish I could've been at the holiday party where they had massages, cookie decorating, and ornament making for the holiday tree (no christmas as we have many jewish girls in our chapter :-))
I think I'd like to plan something our chapter hasn't done a lot or ever before. Or at least I'd like to help plan more socials with other sororities and/or fraternities. We had always talked about having a sisterhood with another sorority, but never actually done it.

we had events like "Draft a Date" which was really popular. Two sororities on our campus had like a cops and robbers theme crush party. We also had a scavenger hunt that i put together. We had everyone meet at the house,pick up their clues and then we sent them to get their dates and so everyone had their dates wating at different locations around the city(not more then 10 mins away though) then they got back to the house but they didnt know that the game had started. So everyone ran back to their cars and started to look for all their clues around town. They were all colored coated and, it was alot of fun. the last clue led back to the house and everyone then hungout and had ice cream.The winner got a gift certificate to a restaurant.
It was fun and the shirts were cute. They said " I got grabbed...." and on the back it said Chi Omega Grab A Date...it caused some stares but i didn't see a problem with them.

We had a mystery date party that I loved! You put your name in a hat, and another sister would be assigned to bring you a date. The best part is that you got introduced to new people, and everyone was there.

My favorite sisterhood events were by far the retreats. Going to the beach with my sisters and playing silly games was awesome.

All of these events sound like lots of fun, especially that holiday party for the sisterhood! My favorites were:
Kidnap - a date function where you get set up by a sister and you buy a toy for you and your date. When they guys show up you look for the guy with the matching toy and he's your date for the even. Sisters rarely ever got set up (most had boyfriends or someone they would just ask) but it was always a lot of fun because there was a different theme every year and we dressed up. My favorite theme was Famous Couples.
And formal was also a favorite because I love getting all dressed up.

We never did Owl-oween (Kidnap was usually in Oct or Nov) but I have heard of chapters doing it right around Halloween and it sounds like lots of fun.
