Classy social mixer needs ideas for twist

ok,
since i dont think i got my point across the first time ill try again. Were in a tke chapter at a small liberal arts college. Were pretty much broke right now but i am trying to brainstorm some closed parties with the other sororities on campus. Our ideas include a heaven and hell party and some classy event. the problem is that we need a ice breaker/twist to the event to not only make it one hell of a party but also have a kick ass ice breaker. so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. cause i am:
A) out of ideas
B) my brain hurts
C) i thought i could utilize the web service like this so that fellow greek life could help me out

thnx

How about salsa dancing or swing dancing. The guys could wear nice pants, button-down shirts, and ties. The girls could wear nice cocktail-length dresses, and you could serve classy mixed drinks (gin and tonics, flavored martinis or cosmos, margaritas). And I think girls would like the dancing (provided the guys actually participate and dance with the girls), and it would be much classier dancing than the usual booty-shakin', bump n' grindin' freak dancing that goes on at frat parties.

What about incorporating dance lessons at the beginning of the party ? And to force the groups to pair up for the lessons, have them pick numbers from a hat .... guys pick from one hat and pulls out a blue piece of paper with a number on it, ladies from another hat and pulls out a pink piece of paper with a number on it... then each person finds their numeric match. They would then, at the very least, start out as a pair for the duration of the lesson portion of the party.

My first social experiance was with TKE at NMSU. We had a something like a scavenger hunt. There were certain things about members like:
Born in this city or state
Been to Europe
Has a tattoo
Just different things. We had to go around talking to the guys. It was fun. We also played 'Never have I ever' it can be clean if you guys want it to be.

That's a My-Tie...and it's usually sponsored from the sororities side. The idea is you tell one of your sisters which guy you like and they go invite him to the party and ask him for one of his ties. When he gets to the party, the girl that likes him is wearing his tie.

Rent hot tubs. I just attend a local sorority convention at Case Western in Cleveland, OH, and ZBT there rents hot tubs every once in a while during the summer. It was a blast. I'm going to get our sorority together with a frat for a mixer this year and hopefully rent a couple in the middle of winter when there's snow on the ground, kind of like a spin on the "Fire and Ice" type theme.

Why not have a bachelor or bachelorette auction? You could get several men or ladies to volunteer to be auctioned off for a date.

Wink mixer ideas

Another Idea for you to use as a mixer that the tke chapter here used was they invited us to their frost party where we could get all dressed up and wear really big cheap sparkly jewlry and they cooked dinner for us and held it in one of their nicer rooms and then afterwards we had drinks that were mostly martinis and classy drinks that smoked because they added dry ice to them.. It was really fun and we had a great time.

A couple ideas

One of the fraternities on my friend's campus did a lock & key mixer. The fraternity men kept the locks, then delivered the keys to the sororities. The women show up with the keys and have to go from guy to guy looking for the lock that works with her key. When they've found a match, that's their "date" for the night. It's a great way to mingle, especially with new member classes!

If you have houses, another thing to try, that a sorority may like, is an etiquette dinner. Invite a sorority over (or go over there) and get someone "official" to give etiquette pointers over a nice dinner. Or, just invite a sorority over for a nice dinner your members prepared themselves. Women usually love guys that can cook!
